Muyehpen

Written by Ehkhudah Zar

Directed by Eliza Rasheed

May 19 - 27, 2023

at The Historic Mounds Theatre

The story of Muyehpen has been passed down for generations by the Karen people of Burma. Known to be the most beautiful Karen woman in her time, and possessing supernatural powers, Muyehpen was kidnapped by the king of Siam and became a sacrifice. This is her narrative of resistance and resilience, which lives on today. The world premiere production will be the first-ever theater production by a Karen artist in Minnesota, and will share the story of Muyehpen with a new generation.

Featuring Zachary Benson (김민철), Mookopaw Kasuh, Psawpaw Kasuh, Song Kim, Thant Arkar Kyaw, Andrew Lee, Viet Nguyen, Jenny Tam, Mai Moua Thao, Juanita Sayaovong Vang & Ehkhudah Zar
