SELL ME: I am from North Korea by Sora Baek (South Korea/USA)


A sold-out hit at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and performed in the United States.
Capitol Center, this powerful, fast-paced solo piece is inspired by the true stories of
courageous North Korean women defectors. On her fifteenth birthday, Jisun, a North
Korean girl, decides to sell herself to an old man to buy medicine for her dying mother.
After risking her life crossing into China, she learns her body is considered worthless. Will
she survive in a merciless foreign land where her very existence is illegal?
