From her solo theater shows to the local neighborhood council, Wong explores the difference between performance art and politics.
Before she became an actual elected representative of Koreatown, Los Angeles, Wong was a scrappy performance artist with a bright future in reality television. The system she used to ridicule is now the one she's become. Is she more effective as a performance artist or a politician? Can she Abolish ICE? Is there actually a difference between performance art and politics?
Kristina Wong for Public Office is a 65-minute comedic performance that crosses the aesthetics of campaign rallies, church revivals and solo theater shows to tell the story of what it means to run for local office, the history of voting and the impact artists can have on democracy.
The show plays against a charming hand-sewn felt set designed and created by Kristina Wong.
Programmed in conjunction with Dartmouth's Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration.
