Through Noise (2023)

Through Noise is a mixed-media and performance evening length work commissioned and produced by Asian Arts Initiative. It is the first installment of a series that investigates the emerging concept of 'a body' not as a fixed entity, but as an event of sensorial collisions. Through Noise engages the movements of sounding and listening to consider the choreographies that (re/de)form identity, relationality, and meaning. It moves in and through questions around ancestral grief in the Vietnamese diaspora, the conditions of home in an expanding Asian-American consciousness, and their entanglements with queer desire, love, and possibility.

An evening-length solo commissioned and produced by Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia.
