In UNTITLED FEMINIST MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY SHOW (UFMTS), provocative writer/director Young Jean Lee takes on multiple views of feminism with her exuberantly disorienting signature style. In UFMTS, a cast of “women” (loosely defined) act, sing, and dance their way through a highly unconventional "debate" on feminism that collapses as its speakers run up against questions they don’t know how to answer. As the debate falls apart, contradictory images abound, conveying a sense of female beauty and power that goes beyond the limited options we’ve been trained to desire.
Performers from Young Jean Lee’s Theatre Company will perform their own work at 7:00 p.m. Friday, August 19 as part of the Food for the Arts series.
“The clearest indication that the avant-garde isn’t dead, and has never been funnier.” — New York Magazine
"One of the most adventurous new playwrights to emerge on the New York scene in the past decade." — The New York Times
