‘Jungle Cruise’ Is Fun but Has Questionable Representation
'Jungle Cruise' is fun if you can ignore the racism of the ride it’s based on and the film’s bland, stereotypical characters.
Lazarus
Lazarus (2023) is a reconstruction and extension of José Leonilson’s Lásaro (1993). The film also pays tribute to Goh Choo-San, a pioneering Singapore-born choreographer. Choreographed by Daeun Jung in collaboration with director Kang Seung Lee, the piece draws inspiration from Goh's ballet "Unknown Territory" (1986), known for blending classical ballet with contemporary introspection. In his multilayered video work, symbols from American Sign Language further challenge our perceptions of communication. The use of sambe—a traditional Korean funeral fabric—deepens the rituals of mourning embedded within the work, honoring the lives and memories lost to the AIDS epidemic. - Alexander Gray Associates
