Flushing Town Hall
(137-35 Northern Blvd., Flushing)

Yangtze Repertory Theatre will present three talented Korean choreographers’ contemporary dance pieces. Mothers, choreographed by Eunhee Lee questions and looks at multiple perspectives of women’s role as “Mother” and the representation of the mother figure. Collaborating with her own daughter, the work reflects her life experiences as her own mother, her daughter and herself as mother.

In My son and a smile, Jung Woong Kim invites the audience to imagine the world inside the mind of expecting parents. His choreography explores the passage of time during these ten months episode. This dance theater work is inspired by movements from inside the womb to out in the ocean. Dancers bring out their own experience to explore repetition, stillness, and complex contact work between their bodies and their environment.

All My Socks Have Holes, created by Eun Jung Choi, is a short disjointed narrative dance that offers a glimpse into the memories of two people who have spent their formative majority of years in their different homelands. The parts of the story gets fragmented and deformed through revealing “memory collapse”, holes in remembering past events. The piece unravels, starting with the holes found on the female’s socks and the myth in her homeland that possessing a long second toe signifies that mother lives longer than father.

Tickets are $15. To make a reservation, please contact 347-574-4369 or office@yangtze-rep-theatre.org
