Love Person

by Aditi Brennan Kapil

Aditi Brennan Kapil’s Love Person is a lyrical and deeply human exploration of language, intimacy, and the ways people struggle to truly connect. Centered on four individuals whose lives become entangled through poetry, email, American Sign Language (ASL), and translation, the play examines how words can both bridge and widen the distance between us. Blending spoken English, ASL, projected text, and Sanskrit poetry, Kapil crafts a strikingly theatrical experience that moves between romance, humor, heartbreak, and longing. At once intellectually provocative and emotionally resonant, Love Person invites audiences into a richly layered story about communication, identity, and what it means to be fully understood.
