“The Whole Beast is an offering from my body to yours.”
—Lee Su-Feh
The Whole Beast is a solo work by Lee Su-Feh. In this work, the dancer is butcher, meat, cook, and the cooked. Mining the singularity of her own body, Lee makes connections from bone and tissue to memory, dreams and desires. With fine precision and startling intimacy, Lee carves the spaces in and around the body, uncovering recipes and stories along the way, offering up a view of a life shaped and affected by food, love and loss.
World premiere (French version) March 2008 Festival Les Antipodes, Brest, France and North American premier (English version) October 2008 Vancouver, BC, Canada.
