Alien of Extraordinary

About

Alien of Extraordinary is an immersive dance-theatre work by Sun Kim, transforming her immigration journey in the U.S. into a powerful call for empathy and shared belonging. Choreographed by Sun Kim, a South Korean immigrant who specializes in the street dance style of popping, the piece takes its name from the “alien of extraordinary ability” (O-1) visa and her own experiences with it. Performed by a cast of eight dancers, Alien of Extraordinary features theme music by klezmer musician and composer Michael Winograd. The piece is an invitation to witness the immigrant artist’s journey in all its fragility and resilience, creating a meeting ground for empathy, imagination, and shared belonging.
