Empath

See it if You’d like to learn what an empath is and hear the story of someone who claims he is one from a very likable young man.

Don't see it if You need a nap. His quiet demeanor and speaking style, soft lighting and ambient music makes it hard to stay awake.

Also I don’t know what to think about this guy. His story was not exactly remarkable and when it comes to the actual demonstration it felt like a less than spectacular magic trick more than an awe inspiring moment.... Read more Read less

See it if Story of his journey finding out he is a empath.

Don't see it if You want a reading. He does three reading. You need to be open minded.

Also First I am very open mind that is why I pick this show to see. This is his story of his pain and finding himself. I find it was too long and very disappointing.... Read more Read less

See it if You are open to exploring the mysteries of the mind and heart with an engaging and honest performer. Unlike any other theatrical experience.

Don't see it if Want to remain skeptical or expecting trad linear, plot-driven play. Languid pace, emotional and intimate, haunting. but not for all.

Also This moved me in ways I didn’t expect. Please stay for the Q/A afterward which deepens the already heady presentation.

This was a very different experience for me than it was for my friend. So, please consider my high score and fulsome review as an EXTREMELY subjective one; It is difficult for me to be critically objective here.

But here goes: David's personal story is not remarkable, yet he comes to accept (over course of a meandering life) that he has a gift for sensing people's emotional resonance. He’s not a stereotypical psychic and admits that he could be wrong. But he presents this to the audience with a nice dramatic flair, a subtle staging of light and sound that's not showy, and will pull you in if able to let yourself go where his story takes you.

It’s not a full memoir solo show. Some of it is a little unfinished. Not all of it works. Best part is watching him work with 3 audience volunteers (riveting) and then the extended Q/A post show. The evening made me cry.... Read more Read less

See it if You are interested in spiritual endeavors, you like personal atories and want to see something different.

Don't see it if You do not like one man shows, are not particularly interest in new age pursuits or do not particularly care for prrsonal life stories.

See it if This privileged young man from an uppper middle class home with an MBA needs to find himself first. See if you want cheap analysis.

Don't see it if Don’t see if you care about your valuable time. Other endeavors will prove more rewarding.

See it if You're interested in the amazing way an empath can connect with another individual. It was quite a evening. Makes one think out of the box.

Don't see it if If you don't believe in the mysteries of the mind and want to see a play with a beginning, middle and an end. This is way different

See it if You like solo shows that are a bit different. A healthy dose of sceptisim and sincerity

Don't see it if You don’t have an open mind about psychic abilities and it’s healing powers

See it if You are ready to explore a performance piece by David Sauvage’s self journey from directing short films to being an empath accidentally

Don't see it if You are not a fan of one man show, intimate theater, performance with audience participation encouraged but not required

Also David’s honest story with his success and failures and how when he hit rock bottom, then how he resurfaced and chose a different path the ones he originally planned. He is definitely gifted but he does not take it for granted and push his boundaries to explore how being empath and changed other people’s most inner thoughts and reflect to them in most articulate way. His choice of words are so exquisite, so well defined, it leaves you wt awe. He does three readings from the audience. Try to stay for Q and A. You see the performance in different light.... Read more Read less

See it if You want a unique theatrical experience...one man show with show and tell...

Don't see it if You want a typical play...

See it if you are an open minded person who is interested in the spiritual connections of humankind and learning about the personal journey of Sauvage

Don't see it if you don't like things that are too touchy/feely or make you feel nervous or uncomfortable at times. Not for the passive audience member.

See it if You are keen on spiritual journeys and empathetic emotions.

Don't see it if You think you’d probably do a better ‘reading’ than this guy. Early in the show David Sauvage describes asking his parents if he can come

Also home because he’s hit bottom, emotionally. His mother says yes. His father says he doesn’t want to see his son’s face on a daily basis. There is heartbreak in that story. It is not the one Sauvage tells us, but it should be. Only a father can tell his son if he’s a man, but the father suffers from his family’s Holocaust horrors and perhaps cannot ‘read’ his sensitive son. The son finding no empathy from the father thinks he has become an empath who can feel the emotions of others. We do not see proof of this in more than a general and genial way. Nothing about the script or performance seems important to anyone but David Sauvage. Maybe that is enough.... Read more Read less

See it if part one-man show, part therapy session, part... magic, maybe? Totally unique, pretty entertaining, and overall a cool night of theater.

Don't see it if skip this if one-man shows and/or audience participation aren't your thing.

See it if you are interested in the idea that some people have special powers to feel others' emotions.

Don't see it if you are cynical about special powers to feel/intuit another person's emotional state.

See it if you like one man shows; you want to see something completely different, about authenticity and emotional healing; you want to be read :)

Don't see it if you don't like one man shows; you don't like audience participation (though very little pressure)

Also the unique thing about this Empath was his humility and healthy dose of skepticism. The show does a great job in storytelling and inspiring regardless of your belief system.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don’t like one man shows or are not open minded.

Also David is a natural story teller and you could definitely feel all the exchange of energies in the room. As the ad for this production claims, this is more than a show, it’s an experience.... Read more Read less

See it if you are overly interested in hearing about someone's experience in psychic development. The readings he did were very general and ambiguous

Don't see it if If you are looking for a traditional show

Also I have been to psychics and mediums-this is not that. While the guy tells a story about having abilities, his readings were purely superficial. I was disappointed... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you prefer traditional theater and musicals.

Also This show is a hidden gem. Entertaining and fun. And moving in a surprising way, especially at the end when the audience is invited to 'meditate' together. There was something special in that moment–bringing people together–that only being in a theater can do.... Read more Read less

See it if you like a one-person show by someone very appealing and sincere, and if you're interested in extrasensory perception.

Don't see it if you are not willing to consider that someone might be unusually empathic to the extent David Sauvage seems to be.

Also This is an especially interesting evening for someone who is slightly skeptical but willing to have an open mind. There is some audience participation, but it is entirely voluntary. I really enjoyed this evening a lot.... Read more Read less
