"Specially Processed American Me"
Dixon Place, Free Rein Projects, and Ping Chong and Company (PCC) present the world premiere production of Jaime Sunwoo’s Specially Processed American Me. Co-directed by Sunwoo and Karim Muasher, and commissioned by Dixon Place, the multimedia theater work investigates SPAM’s legacy in the military, its significance in the Asia-Pacific, and its influence on Asian cuisine as it reveals the stories of three generations of women. Through a narrative collage of oral history, video, music, and shadowplay, SPAM becomes a powerful symbol of colonization, immigration, assimilation, American dreams and disillusionment, inviting us to examine the memories we hold onto and those we leave behind.
