Have you ever walked into a room, arrived, and then forgot why you had traveled there in the first place? Okay. Right. We all do that. But, then did you notice that thing, that was over there, that needed to be put somewhere else? Sure. And then, you go to pick it up and put it away, but on your way you notice something that reminds you of that one song you love that makes you start to dance everytime you hear it and suddenly you become lost in the moment, the movement and the music until it all merges into a too bright, too loud, too everything space and you remember that in your pocket you have a fidget and for a brief period it might make everything in the world make sense again? Yes! You relate!? But, then did you arrive back in the very moment where you began, in a room you no longer belong in, wondering if life isn’t quite the same for you as it is for others? Or that maybe you can’t fit in the box this world wants to put you in? And, that, oh yeah. You were supposed to be reading a book. This is “Terrace Wyatt Jr.’s: Hyperactivity.”
If you know what I’m talking about you’ll see parts of yourself in this performance. If you have never experienced life quite like this, well, hold on. In this play, Terrace Wyatt celebrates how Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) impacts one individual. Through an Avant Garde style solo performance filled with music, dance, storytelling, lights and props this at once, neuro affirming and familiar story flows with a chaotic intensity that will leave you wanting more. Terrace carries you from one subject matter to the next, begging you to keep up, not in spite of the side tangents, but because of them. This show does not exploit or attempt to make you comfortable, however, with humor, authenticity and honesty – “Hyperactivity” is more than what the play professes to be. It is, quite literally, an outside of the box performance done with excellence and skill. Be prepared for it to change you and to deepen your understanding for how we all react differently to the stimuli within and around us. Energy, enthusiasm and real human emotion captivates the audience and creates continued conversation outside the confines of the theater. No two versions dare to be the same.
