SPECIALLY PROCESSED AMERICAN ME
Rehearsal Space Residency

By Jaime Sunwoo

Saturday & Sunday, December 14 & 15 | 7pm
First Floor Studio | 120 Bank Street, New York

Join us for a reading of Jaime Sunwoo's ‘Specially Processed American Me’, a surreal autobiographical performance using SPAM, the canned meat, as a portal into her Asian American upbringing and her family's experiences of the Korean War. It investigates SPAM's legacy in the military, its significance in the Asia-Pacific, and its influence on Asian cuisine through music, shadowplay, and cooking. Oscillating wildly between absurd humor and sober tragedy, Specially Processed American Me is a thought-provoking exploration of one of America's most misunderstood foods.

In addition to performances, Specially Processed American Me holds food history and storytelling workshops over a communal SPAM meal. To learn more, visit speciallyprocessed.com and follow facebook.com/speciallyprocessed and instagram.com/speciallyprocessed
