Prologue PART III

As part of “Prologue… and More,” an interdisciplinary program combining performance and workshops that explore personal history, memory, and legacy, Prologue PART III presents a biographical storytelling experience that blends dance, objects, music, and shadow puppetry. This live performance weaves together movement, shadow theater, text, and sound to create a layered and poetic theatrical language.

Inspired by the lived experiences of five first-generation Chinese American immigrants, it transforms personal histories into evocative visual narratives that reflect resilience, identity, and belonging. The performance is followed by a talkback, inviting audiences to engage in dialogue around cultural legacy, memory, and intergenerational connection.

** Two workshops follow: a biographical storytelling session using movement, interviews, and writing, and a shadow puppet–making workshop where participants transform their portraits into animated figures. Each workshop will be listed separately on Eventbrite.

** Free admission. RSVP your spot.
