We’re Gonna Die
by Young Jean Lee
Theatre Y, Chicago • 2020
Theatre Y’s We’re Gonna Die is a film re-imagining of Young Jean Lee’s poignant stage play-cum-indie rock concert in which a female singer alternates can-you-top-this stories of the awfulness of life with sweet, peppy tunes like “Lullaby for the Miserable” and “Horrible Things.” The film was created in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic and was named one of 2020’s Top Cultural Picks by WDCB’s The Arts Section.
