Synopsis:
Attack of the Man-Eating Lotus Blossoms is a collection of these performance art texts, along with documents and scripts, that represent Chin’s performance work from 1993-2001. Whether playing native, tourist, or other, the performer questions our--as well as his own--assumptions, prejudices, and consumption of cultural beings and commodities. These works explore themes of sexuality, of Asian and of queer bodies, hybrid forms of culture, belonging, and the loss, recovery, and reconstruction of home, homeland, and history. These works are by turns coolly ironic, or bratty and comic, or poignant and mournful, or unbelievably borderline psychotic.
