-[7:58 PM, seated and ready to go! 8:03 PM, lights down] 
- 
-1. Mother Anne, spiritual leader of the Shakers, invites Leon and her congregants to obtain a secret knowledge. 
-2. The Yeti Mother, an imaginary mother of God, calls to Leon from her cave in the Himalayas, promising to call him home to her. 
-3. Leon, an institutionalized schizophrenic, compulsively beats out a rhythm on his own body. 
-4. Leon’s mother visits and tells the story of her son’s illness, concluding accusatorily, “How could he do this to me?” 
-5. Leon obsessively reiterates his mother’s question, his speech transforming into glossolalia as he invokes the Yeti Mother. 
-6. The Yeti Mother answers Leon’s distress with a song in celebration of excrement. 
-7. The Yeti Mother reveals that she is Leon’s true mother, and that she, along with her congregation of yetis, will help Leon transcend his physical limitations. 
-8. The Yeti Mother and her yeti children transform into Mother Anne and her congregants once again, soothing Leon with the knowledge that he is now in possession of a secret knowledge. In a rare and painful moment of lucidity, however, Leon realizes that he is alone and suffering from his mental illness.
