This piece is a performance text that explores trauma and Korean diaspora through the voices of various Korean women-the international student in an American university, the birth mother who has put her baby into international adoption, the military sex worker, and the comfort woman. The authors move among these different voices to express the notion that memory does not just belong to the speaking subject but can be unconsciously transmitted across the time-space of diaspora to other bodies. In their critique of the American dream, the authors reveal the dream's traumatic effects-both the trauma of speaking and the agency of trauma to be spoken
