Mama Lee's Bathhouse

A performance exploring the embodied rituals of the Korean bathhouse, drawn from childhood memories. I saw bodies. Grandma? Mom? The lady? The virgin? A 90-year-old woman? and her caregiver. I also saw them rubbing, scrubbing, applying yogurt, sometimes cucumber, massaging, kneading, rinsing, talking, comforting, laughing, yelling, cursing, and worrying.
