Traversing various societies, time periods, and political struggles, Mei Liu stages interdisciplinary multimedia performances in which past, present, and future overlap. Her storytelling performances interweave documentary footage, oral histories, dreams, detective fiction, and personal reflection in unexpected ways. She draws connections between collective consciousness, memory, and contemporary technology, exploring the theme of dreaming under oppressive conditions with both humor and insight.
