Dixon Place to Present World Premiere of Soomi Kim's MLCG (My Little China Girl)

Dixon Place will present the world premiere of MLCG (My Little China Girl), the latest in downtown theater artist Soomi Kim's series of theatrical works exploring the Asian-American experience. The production will play six performances Fridays and Saturdays from November 3-18.

MLCG (My Little China Girl) is written and choreographed by Kim and directed by Leta Tremblay. Mia Chung is the dramaturg.

The show is described as follows: "When David Bowie died, performing artist and choreographer Soomi Kim was suddenly reminded of her own coming-of-age as a Korean-American in the MTV generation and her adolescent desire to be the exotic Asian woman in Bowie’s 'China Girl' video. MLCG (My Little China Girl) is a high-octane solo performance that deals with Ms. Kim’s experiences as a first generation Korean-American, tackling themes of Western standards of beauty, the deep and physical pain of loss, and yearning for approval — from her father, from society, and from the white male icon on her TV screen."
