Young Jean Lee Mar 9, 2008

by Tania

Young Jean Lee's show is the most pleasurable thing I've seen at On the Boards all season. It was a hilarious treatise of love and self-hate as she looks at what it means for her to be an Asian woman.

Review of Young Jean Lee's "Songs of the Dragon Flying to Heaven" Mar 8, 2008

by Tania

The first thing I notice when I walked into the theater space was the stark contrast between the pacifying row of paper lanterns, murals and rock garden, and the barren and austere stage. The set seemed incomplete and I couldn't help but think of ways Young Jean Lee could have made this more "Asian." Design a Pagoda perhaps?

Hey girl. Feb 3, 2008

by Tania

Wow. What a show of contradictions: so full of images but so lacking in fully realized ideas. I experienced moments of true visceral response, like I never have before. The images "Hey Girl" created had real power to move me that had nothing whatsoever to do with intellectual response. I felt them in my gut.
