In celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage month, this show features Chicago's best Asian Pacific American musicians. Traditional Polynesian singers, Japanese drummers, rock musicians and more perform at this benefit for two local Asian American, 501c3, non-profit arts organizations, A-Squared Theatre Workshop and CIRCA Pintig.
A-Squared Theatre Workshop and CIRCA/Pintig co-produce the play, "The Other Shore" this Autumn. Written by Chinese Nobel Laureate writer Gao Xianjing, currently living in exile in France, "The Other Shore" was banned in China. This play addresses issues of collectivism and individualism—themes that Xingjian has addressed throughout his career, and ones that are considered to be highly political in the Communist Chinese context. Proceeds from tonight's show support this major stage production.
