“Micheline Wu, who is trained in Chinese dance, [in addition to being the choreographer] also plays Tamate, Kayama’s tradition-bound, kimono-clad wife, imbuing the unfortunate character with intensity and grace, the latter exemplified by her fluid dance with a fluttering fan.“ - Carolyn Clay, WBUR on Pacific Overtures at the Lyric Stage Company of Boston (read full review here)
“The show’s talented choreographer, Micheline Wu, as Kayama’s wife Tamate. Wu shines in one of the most affecting scenes, as she anguishes over the possibility that her husband’s mission will fail and they will both have to kill themselves out of shame.
