Dixon Place presents the world premiere of “MLCG (MY LITTLE CHINA GIRL)”, a new production by acclaimed downtown theater artist Soomi Kim, with direction by Leta Tremblay. “MLCG (MY LITTLE CHINA GIRL)” is playing a limited engagement of six performances only, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, November 3 through November 18 at Dixon Place (161A Chrystie Street).
When David Bowie died, performing artist and choreographer Soomi Kim was suddenly reminded of her own coming of age as a Korean-American in the MTV generation, and her adolescent desire to be the exotic Asian woman in Bowie’s “China Girl” video. “MLCG (MY LITTLE CHINA GIRL)” is a high-octane solo performance that deals with Ms. Kim’s experiences as a first generation Korean-American, tackling themes of Western standards of beauty, the deep and physical pain of loss, and yearning for approval – from her father, from society, and from the white male icon on her TV screen.
Tickets are $21 in advance and $24 at the door. For tickets and further information, please visit http://dixonplace.org/performances/mlcg-my-little-china-girl/ or call (866)-811-4111.
