“Up-and-coming playwright Dennis Kim and multi-talented artist and director Marc Bamuthi Joseph weave together classic storytelling, urban culture, and the immigrant experience in this incredible multidisciplinary theater production. Through the eulogies of his brothers, Tree City Legends tells the story of Junie, a young Korean American folksinger, and his struggles as an immigrant in the inner city. With a diverse musical score and visual storytelling that includes found footage, portraiture, and panoramic landscapes, this groundbreaking premiere is not to be missed.”
Sara Roffino, Flavorpill
The piece expands beyond any specific Korean American experience and explores the profound feelings of rootlessness and abandonment of urban people of color, specifically Asian Pacific Islander American immigrants in tracing the lives of the Kane brothers.
