Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?)
By Zoë Kim
Fresh off an extended run at The Public in New York, Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?) is about family, survival, and the Korean-American experience.
Zoë Kim’s autobiographical journey through love’s many forms—how it’s learned, given, and reflected inward. In a nimble and tender solo performance, Zoë shapeshifts into the souls of her family through a landscape of memories where tears and laughter collide. It’s not just a story, but a reckoning—weaving through the textured threads of Korean/American identity, belonging, and healing. Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?) is a poetic love letter to the inner child, and hopefully yours too.
