WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In We're Gonna Die, provocative theater artist Young Jean Lee explores human vulnerability with her hilariously disorienting signature style. Surrendering her usual practice of casting larger-than-life superstars, Lee sets out to make a show that any ordinary person could perform. Using herself as a guinea pig, non-performer Lee takes the stage herself along with her band, Future Wife, to tell stories and sing songs about our shared human weakness and failure. Join Lee and Future Wife for an evening of heartbreak, despair, aging, sickness, and death. You may be miserable, but you won't be alone.

Now in her often beguiling new cabaret piece, We're Gonna Die at Joe's Pub, Lee takes on the challenges of singing and songwriting.
She performs along with Future Wife, a charming, post-folk rock band that she formed with her boyfriend, Tim Simmonds, in the piece, which is confidently directed by downtown veteran Paul Lazar. The work seems to have been largely ins[...]
