The Korea Society shares pre-performance insights and tackles patron Q&A on North Korea as part of the world premiere of Korean-American playwright Mia Chung’s You for Me for You; Chung has been hailed as “one of the most imaginative young writers of her generation.” Directed by Yury Urnov, the production portrays two North Korean sisters who face starvation and bargain with a smuggler to flee to the United States. When one of the sisters is denied passage because she is too weak to make the treacherous trans-Pacific crossing, the other promises to race across time and space to save her. This delicate story shatters conceptions of life inside and outside North Korea’s borders.
