On the Island is the uncomfortably timely tale of an artist imprisoned without trial in a mysterious prison. The story switches between her surreal, poignant memories and the paranoid reality of her internment. What will become of her, and more importantly, will anyone care?
Directed by Steve Bailey, with lighting by Billy Muñoz, an original sound score composed by Paul Harford and aerial choreography in collaboration with Nimble Arts. On the Island was presented in its workshop form at the first National Asian-American Theatre Festival in June 2007. “Her grace in the air and on the ground coupled with stunning lighting by Billy Munoz tells an entire story through poignant images and thrilling acrobatics.” (nytheatre.com review)

Shimi’s been working really hard on this show and probably the only resident in San Antonio doing aerial fabric work. Please come and support artists and check out the show
Beautiful show Shimi. it was very touching and timely. Best Wishes.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article ON THE ISLAND, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
