SHE SAYS is a dance film featuring the work of dancer and choreographer, Mei-Yin Ng. With excerpts from Sit, Eat, Chew 五味杂陈, Ng will take you on a guided immersive dance to uncover two personal stories in exterior and interior locations throughout Manhattan’s Chinatown. The Chinese proverb, Wǔ Wèi Zá Chén 五味杂陈, references the five traditional tastes of cooking (sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty) to describe the complex emotions in life’s ups and downs. These stories have become the creative and emotional inspiration for the dance theater performance. The stories of two women in two different time periods of Chinatown come to life through this film.
