Birth of a Nasian

Trip hop spoken word duo Kate Rigg and Lyris Hung of Slanty Eyed Mama return to the Freer with their electrifying music and politicomic monologues that explore questions of race, culture, identity, and the contemporary Asian American urban landscape. The play Birth of a nASIAN, written by Kate Rigg and Leah Ryan, features edgy, surreal characters, such as a World Trade Center street hawker, a "China Latina" who can't seem to tick the right box at the unemployment office, and a thirty-two-year-old cheerleader who finally has enough confidence to go to cheerleading camp.

Intended for mature audiences. Two tickets per person are distributed at the Meyer Auditorium one hour before show time.
