Una comèdia dramàtica a partir de la vida d’una artista coreana i nord-americana d’origen, que fa tot el que considera oportú per a ser escoltada a través dels seus múltiples identitats en les performances que realitza en la moderna Los Angeles. “Quan vaig conèixer a Vivian Bang, l’artista estava interpretant una obra performativa al Teatre Redcat al centre d’aquesta ciutat, titulada, “Em sents? / LA 92”. Peça extraordinària en què Vivian encarnava a una emigrant d’origen coreà que va tornar a comptar l’angoixant experiència de la seva família, sota la pressió dels disturbis de Los Angeles a principis dels 90.

A dramatic comedy following a Korean American performance artist who struggles to be authentically heard and seen through her multiple identities in modern Los Angeles. “I first encountered Vivian Bang while she was doing a performance art piece at the Redcat Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Entitled, “Can You Hear Me? / LA 92,” this was an extraordinary piece in which Vivian embodied a Korean immigrant retelling the harrowing experience of living with her family under the duress of the LA riots in the early 90s. It is a slice of history rarely told and one that was certainly under explored in my secondary education in suburban Connecticut. All I recalled of the riots were images from the horrific beating of Rodney King and the civil unrest broadcast in graphic news reports from Southern California. Vivian’s visceral piece opened my eyes to the specific friction between the black community and the Korean American community, the glaring lack of accountability of the news media and police, the thousands of Korean businesses that were destroyed, and the lives that were lost, all told through the power of monologue”.
