"I was overwhelmed by the emotion of the show and, judging by the ovations, so was the whole audience. You masterfully tread the fine line between pathos and pitfall, humor and humility. As a storyteller you have developed your subject so expertly that the delicacy and poignancy are not only preserved, but amplified without any sense of the crass or exaggeration. Aama is the real thing, and your conveyance of her pure perceptions enthralled us and swept us away. Thank you for such a warm and rewarding experience!" |
"Your program precipitated the most conversation of any of the Winter Speakers Series talks. Reactions were so varied - 'It was the best one!' to 'I cried through the whole thing.' The staff dining room was buzzing with conversation about the program the morning after. Your program was narratively and visually fascinating. Thanks for a very provocative and entertaining evening...." |
"Brot is an amazing human being, full of genuine warmth and compassion. His journey with Aama was literally brought to life before our eyes. Given the nature of our program, our lecture audiences are quite diverse ranging from undergraduate business students, to faculty and staff and elderly community residents. Brot crossed all boundaries and had everyone mesmerized with his unique presentation blending words and images in the fashion of a master storyteller. It felt as if we were all gathered around a campfire, hanging on every word. It felt like we could actually hear the conversations between Brot, Aama and Didi. If nothing else, our students left the lecture hall with a renewed optimism for life and a realization that much can be gained from the simple yet profound wisdom offered by people like Brot and Aama."
