The Show
Bari has always been a bit of an angry, depressed and misunderstood  misanthrope. After losing her job teaching in New York City, she returns home to work an unfulfilling job at the local fulfillment center in her rural upstate community.  Recently, an unexplained illness has resulted in usual and surprising personal consequences for Bari.  When her illness is triggered, she finds herself in a state of euphoria. Feeling joy like never before, she falls in love. Once it's discovered that her illness is life-threatening and if left untreated she could die, Bari is faced with a difficult decision. Does she refuse treatment and continue to enjoy her new life, or does she get treatment and possibly return to her life of misery. This existential dilemma has Baril questioning the meaning of life through a more personal and less academic lens.
