Genevieve Kim is, like her work, uncategorizable.

A classically trained musician turned photographer, entrepreneur, writer and now performance artist, her path has been anything but linear—and that’s exactly the point. No matter the medium, Genevieve kept circling the same thing: story. Music trained her to feel it in rhythm and silence. Writing taught her how to shape her voice on the page. Photography showed her how to frame what often goes unseen. Even her time in tech and consulting revealed the stories people perform to survive. What once lived in separate forms now converges on stage—raw, precise, and alive.

Her solo show, Madame Kimchi, embodies that collision. Blending characters, confession, and absurd physical comedy, the work resists easy definition—part exorcism, part spectacle, part deeply human unraveling. Kim doesn’t just perform; she shapeshifts, moving from control to chaos with a presence that is both deliberate and dangerously uncontained.

Before stepping into performance, Genevieve wrote and published her memoir, Yes to It All, and worked across creative and entrepreneurial fields, building projects that ultimately pushed her toward a more honest form of expression. In 2022, she left New York for Portugal, a move that marked a turning point: away from performing a life that looked right, and toward creating work that feels real.

Now, her work centers on voice—not as technique, but as truth. Whether through performance or her VoiceWork workshops, she explores what happens when people stop editing themselves and start expressing what’s actually there.

Audiences arrive expecting a show. What they encounter is something far less predictable—an experience that is as disarming as it is electric, where laughter, discomfort, and recognition sit side by side.

Genevieve is currently touring Madame Kimchi and developing new work that continues to blur the line between performance and personal reckoning.
