Care Package VII
2024
Performance
(8min excerpt) Original running time: 1hour 22minutes

Performed at CPR-Center for Performance Research

Brooklyn, NY, November 22, 2024


“Care Package VII” is a new iteration of the continuously evolving performance series “Care Package,” which has been developing over the last 15 years. Together, the audience and the artist explore a care package from her mother in South Korea. Through poetry, sound, movement, and participation, this performance invites the audience into the uniquely intimate relationship that has evolved between the artist and her mother over their period of long separation. As the piece unfolds, we'll unpack the notions of home, immigration, care, time, and distance.
