How Is It Ever Any Different Than?
by 600 Whale

One evening / Two Performances

MAI by Magnolia Yang Sao Yia

Mai is a solo work that explores Hmong girlhood coming into womanhood. How does one begin to transition into becoming a woman? What does it mean to be a woman? Mai, placed in a hostile environment, traces through the archives of her body and memories to comprehend her histories, and to imagine a reality where she can be whole. 

How Is It Ever Any Different Than? by 600 Whale

This latest creation by 600 Whale is an exploration of the modern self. Inspired by technologies that manipulate identity such as; the gene editing technique CRISPR, LSD, and the Internet, the performance is a juxtaposition of science, spirituality, and introspection. A vignette driven theatrical wormhole of character, setting, and story, How Is It Ever Any Different Than? coalesces into a mosaic of meaning, delivering the audience into the present with a renewed sense of curiosity and awe.
