DID YOU EAT?
밥 먹었니?


Scenic design
Amphibian Stage (Fort Worth, Texas)
Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?) is a poetic autobiographical solo performance by Zoë Kim that explores familial trauma, Korean American identity, and healing through personal memories, offering a love letter to the inner child.

Envisioned as a sacred space for healing, the set creates a haven for Zoë to share her most intimate stories. Inspired by the mother's womb and sacred architecture, an organic, circular enclosure with softly wrinkled surfaces cocoons Zoë and the audience as memories unfold. Themes of birth, growth, and the changing seasons shape the design's journey from the cold of winter toward the warmth of spring. In the final moments, cherry blossom petals fall through an opening above, surrounding Zoë in softness and offering a quiet sense of hope and renewal.

ONSTAGENTX - Review by Jan Farrington
“Zhuosi “Joyce” He’s striking set design is a curving cream wall encircling the space, with a round opening at the top, leading to darkness. “A womb,” I heard, and as the play moved along, I didn’t find a reason to disagree. At either end, undulating flat surfaces for seating or standing, and one glowing, gourd-like orb drawing the eye. ”
