May Sun

Voices, a performance piece written and directed by Hassinger, was performed by her friends and fellow artists-including Ulysses Jenkins, Senga Nengudi, and May Sun—who each took on the role of a specific societal force, such as survival, intolerance, or consumerism. In this iteration of the performance, Hassinger played "the conductor," directing the performers in their monologues as if they were an acapella choir. The performance reflects on the wavering place of nature amidst encroaching technologies that change our economic, moral, and political realities. The piece was presented on two occasions: first at the Woman's Building in Los Angeles in 1984, and later at California State University, Los Angeles, in 1985.
