Never has the phrase "I.  Can't.  Breathe." had so many different horrible implications.  This 10-minute piece, played by a cast of one to an audience of one in a "specially constructed shipping container" to shield both the performer and the audience member from horrible disease, explores that.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  If you go to one of the earlier performances in the day, take out a Báhn Mì from Hanco's (Smith Street) and find someplace to eat it.  One of the later, La Vara for sure:  this tribute to the fantasy of Muslim/Catholic/Jewish amity under Moorish rule in Southern Spain remains one of the very best restaurants in Brooklyn.
