I.C. (I See) /Traps Lenora Champagne
About This Show
A response to Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities and everyday anxieties. Umiko Fujiwara, a traveling salesperson who sells eye drops for those who have grown jaded, is captured and brought to the palace of Kim Kahn, a former exotic dancer with a gift for strategy who rules the land. Kahn insists that Umiko tell her about the fantastical places she has been that Kahn has not yet visited but may dominate someday. Every now and then, Champagne wanders in and tells tales of Queens, New York.
