The Passion According to G.H.

The Passion According to G.H. is a one-person play adapted from Clarice Lispector's haunting 1964 novel, brought to life by actor and creator Rudy Mungaray. This deeply introspective piece follows the protagonist as they encounter a cockroach one morning, an event that serves as a portal into an unraveling of identity, existence, and self-awareness. In a mesmerizing monologue that plays with language and perception, the narrator explores the cosmic and the personal, questioning the boundaries society imposes on the individual. Mungaray’s adaptation distills the novel’s profound themes into an intimate, physical reading experience that activates the text with insight and energy—though not as a full staged performance. The Passion According to GH invites the audience into a transformative journey of existential inquiry. With the story’s spare plot and rich language, it is an exploration of the self in its most raw and primal state—an experience that lingers long after the final word.
