Join us Wednesday, April 17, at 5 pm, for a performance by Elevator Music 48: Alone, only in flesh artists MIZU, Theresa-Xuan Bui, and Antonius-Tín Bui, and dancer Glenna Yu. The artists will activate the Tang’s elevator and staircase with cello, improvisational movement, spoken word poetry, and audience interaction with traditional Vietnamese garments (áo dài). In this way, the audience will join the diasporic artists on a migration embodying the hesitations, expectations, and contemplations of returning home.

A figure plays the cello on the right underneath a glowing smoky projection. Eight figures on the left dance with their arms outstretched, while figures in shadow watch in the background.
