Sun-A-Lee

Touch! addresses themes of loss, absence and isolation, a sense of disconnection from the world. Performing Dream tells the story of Sun-A Lee’s troubles getting to sleep with the audience’s eyes on her.
  • Touch! Absence of parents, absence of children, absence from the world... Sun-A Lee presents an achingly sensitive exploration of the themes of loss and absence: the story of 150,000 children (adopted after the Korean War, in 1954, by families overseas), touching upon questions of isolation and loss of contact with the outside world.
  • Performing Dream. At once limpid and subliminal, this solo performance examines the artist’s struggles to get to sleep the night before a show. As soon as she closes her eyes she “sees” the stage and “hears” the music and applause; her whole body comes alive, from her head down to her toes... What if this dream-state performance was actually better than the real show the next day?
