What happens when karaoke becomes a way to express grief, memory, and joy?
Set in a “karaoke-funeral-lounge”, WITH OURSELVES, WITH EACH OTHER (WOWEO) follows Korean adoptee and ballerina-turned-experimental dance-maker Maree ReMalia as she navigates the grief of losing a parent who raised her and the absence of a parent she never met. Blending dance, storytelling, and pop music, this solo performance explores the longing to understand where we come from. It honors both the pain of early separation and the deep bonds we form with family beyond blood ties.
Sing, laugh, and journey with us as WOWEO asks: How can we hold grief and memory while still making room for joy, connection, and new ways forward?
Friday performance follows with a post-show discussion and Saturday evening has a karaoke afterparty with Liana Maneese.
