Program

Dirty Laundry
Dirty Laundry is a multimedia and multi-layered dance work by director/choreographer Li Chiao-Ping, composer Byron Au Yong, and visual artist Hong Huo that investigates the history of Chinese labor, systemic racism, and generational trauma through a balance of expressive choreography, visual imagery, spoken word, text, and soundscapes. It tells the untold stories of struggle and survival that characterized the Asian experience in America—the institutionalized violence and the treatment of Asians as perpetual foreigners. Dancers bring their personal histories to life on stage, creating a vivid tapestry of resilience, pain, and humanity that transforms into a shared, communal act of remembrance and healing.
Estimated run time: 65 minutes, no intermission
