an existential, educational space pageant featuring two Mars Rovers: one named "Opportunity" (actor 1) and one named "Curiosity" (actors 2 & 3), and another Rover named "Spirit" (played by a computer-manipulated actor's voice).
A pseudo-autobiographical, fractured portrait of the fragmented identities of a Chinese-Japanese-white family, and of the half-true ancestral curse that lurks under their kitchen sink. A comedic memory play, a slice of life, and a historical tragedy, "interra-bang" hopscotches through time from 1877 to 2027, unearthing queerness(‽) and shame(!) and pride(?) in 3+ generations and their pet shih-tzu.
A dance-theatre installation that satirizes the contemporary visual art world. Includes: a devilish Curator, seven "Art-Going Archetypes," and many grotesque tableau vivants.
