About this performance
Humorous, fierce and poignant, Allen Johnson draws from his experience as a visual artist, poet, truck driver and boiler mechanic to create a solo performance exploring the recklessness and vulnerability needed for an intimate encounter with God, a lover, or oneself. Directed by Sean Ryan, Another You is a series of brutally honest, interwoven monologues exploring our primal need for intimacy. After its premiere at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's TBA Festival and a sold-out run at On the Boards, Another You toured to Frankfurt, Leipzig, Berlin, Glasgow, and to The Public Theater in New York, where a reviewer for nytheatre.com called it "the single most powerful thing I've seen on stage in years." Matthew Stadler, writing in ArtForum, called Another You "as richly transporting as a great novel."
