A Very Very Korean PlayBy Elaine Jiwon KimDirected by Eileen TucciPerformed by Karina Cowperthwaite, James Caven, Caron Kim, and Natalie ChooSummary: On a dead stage, a woman turns into a peach tree. In this play, we burrow under the human characters’ feet, beneath the floorboards of the lifeless and claustrophobic set, and into the curious world of PLAY that unsettles the boundaries between humans and their environment; rational and sensible matter; as well as our conception of the self and the other. This new play hopes to create a feast of metamorphoses that encourages its players and audience members to celebrate our capacity to transform: how can your imagination shape you and the world you inhabit? How do we disturb our conception of our environment such that nature has a chance to be unnatural/supernatural? What part of our identities should we hold on to as we inevitably change into different iterations of ourselves?RUN TIME: 60 minT﻿his reading is a part of MANIFESTATION: La MaMa Umbria 2022 Playwrights Reading Series. The scripts presented are inspired by the La MaMa Umbria International Playwrights Retreat facilitated by Master Artist Todd London and Artistic Director David Diamond in summer 2022.*Please note that La MaMa requires that face masks must be worn inside the building, theatre and lobby at all times.
