WAITING FOR THE CALL (2021) is a live virtual performance over Zoom that annotates, illustrates, and reconstructs the idea of returning home.

twice the moon

7.17.2019 - 7.18.2019 / On the High Line at 14th Street

TWICE THE MOON was a 45 piece where audience members wore silent disco headphones and listening to different audio tracks while on the High Line. The audience members in the green headphones were on one side listening to So's story, and those with blue headphones were on the other listening to Bex's story. Each group watched different shadow puppetry scenes on the walls, ceilings, and floor in their area, bisected by the screen, then So and Bex transition into speaking live, and both tracks merge into one, becoming a shared experience for the whole audience.

TWICE THE MOON was commissioned by Out of Line, a program of the High Line, which presents a new set of arresting, intriguing, and playful performances by some of New York City’s most exciting contemporary artists.
