Formosa

Formosa is a surrealistic romp through beauty, body, culture, and Barbie. Created and performed by spoken word poet Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai, the solo show combines spoken word, movement, multimedia and fictional characters, jumping into Tsai’s imaginary encounters with a Taiwanese factory worker who makes the dolls, an 8-year old Chinese adoptee girl who loves the dolls, and a Nicki-Minaj-wannabe Asian American female hip hop MC who just might be turning into a doll.
