It’s a cruel world. And it can be even more cruel to some people. This set exhibits the struggles and fights of marginalized people who are women, girls, or genderqueers. In this world, we are fetishized because of our race (Object of Desire) and our body parts become objectified to the extreme (Oink and Astonishing Little Feet). Yet, we still get up to continue our fight to tell our story of survival (In Living Memory), and to rebuild our own identity and relationships (JACKFRUIT). “Spectrum of Stories” asks us to reflect on the lives of the minority and their ability to persevere. – Jiyon Byun
[Object of Desire contains scenes and themes of sexual violence.]
When an Asian American woman takes a karaoke hostessing job for some quick cash, she finds herself unable to escape men with a relentless asian fetish.
Object of Desire is a dark comedy that explores the eerie underbelly of nightlife and how a woman must navigate performing stereotypes to survive.
