AAPI Anthologies: Folklore

(21+ EVENT - NO EXCEPTIONS)

Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Month by witnessing our folklore come to life on stage. AAPI Anthologies is a Bun Haus production in partnership with the International Nerdlesque Festival.

🏮AAPI Anthologies (AAPIA) is an annual showcase of Asian American & Pacific Islander performers across the gender and cultural diaspora. AAPIA emphasizes that there is no singular “correct” way to identify as AAPI - our heritages, cultures, and experiences are vast and diverse. Established in 2024 in NYC and hosted by Happy Bun Bun, this show aims to promote cultural and political empathy across intersectional audiences while combating the model minority myth through burlesque, draglesque, and performance art.

🏮When our families immigrated to America, they brought those cultures with them in many different ways. One was warning us with scary stories and folk tales from their childhood to keep us on our best behavior. What creatures creep in the night in Korea or China? What wandering eyes follow wayward souls in South India, or the tired traveler in Thailand? Are you prepared to peer down the path of pre-colonial Filipino lore?

Experience how our heritage has influenced our all AAPI cast, join us in gleeful games, and enter for a chance to win our raffle spanning our cultures!
