The Yoko Ono Project

David E. Kemp, a former professor of drama at Queen’s University, is
the author of The Pleasures and Treasures of the United Kingdom.

Writer/actor Jean Yoon is currently Artistic Director of Loud Mouth
Asian Babes, a company dedicated to producing theatre for the
“Dis/Oriented and Culturally Confused.” The Yoko Ono Project is
essentially a theatrical meditation on Yoko Ono’s obsession with the
bare image, her seamless incorporation of different media into her art,
and her rejection of traditional views of what constitutes art. The
play, which revolves around the experiences of three Asian-Canadian
women, features a minimalist setting and music that is augmented by
excerpts from taped interviews and other archival material. Yoon’s
intelligent, witty, poignant, and provocative script debunks the myths
surrounding one of the world’s most controversial, and undervalued,
artists.
