New York City
Adapted from the groundbreaking literary collage by late Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Dictee intertwines the stories of ordinary, mythic and martyred women–including Korean revolutionary Yu Guan Soon, Joan of Arc, Demeter and Persephone, as well as Cha herself. Korean born, NYC-based performer Soomi Kim uses movement, video, and original music to transpose Cha’s postmodern poetry to the stage.
