Suitcase Stories: Audio Play
About
Placement. Replacement. Displacement.
Maki Yi left South Korea for Canada armed with a suitcase, her brother’s map of Toronto, and hope for the future. While Maki joyfully embraces the opportunity to explore her identity as a performer and a person, the realities of Canada’s institutional racism, poverty, and homesickness dog her steps. Suitcase Stories, available as an audio play until December first, is a powerful and personal look at risk, failure, and the joy of finding yourself in a strange land.
Maki in your pocket! An audio-play version of Maki Yi’s one-woman show Suitcase Stories, professionally recorded and mixed by Rick Colhoun. Your purchase of this recording supports Maki directly in her artistic work.
SUITCASE STORIES

With only her chatty suitcase in tow, Maki leaves her home in South Korea for the vast unknown – Canada. A vulnerable and winsome tale of self-discovery.
