Friends Ho-Etsu Taiko will open the evening, and a Q & A will follow the performance. Come to see and hear what NPR has called "an act of revisionist subversion"

"No-No Boy’s work might best be described as an audiovisual soundtrack of the Asian American experience. This multi-media project of music and archival images takes us on a journey to the stories of our parents, our ancestors and ourselves in ways that we haven’t yet experienced...armed with scholarship and creativity, to carry forward the discussion around loss, resilience, and identity."
