Renowned Vancouver master musician, Toa Wong and Montreal visual artist, Mary Sui Yee Wong meet through cyber technology in a live streaming performance.
By invoking a childhood fantasy of becoming a pop star with an irrational fear of singing, Mary Sui Yee Wong, will work in tandem with her father, Toa Wong, to create a provocative performance that embraces the complexities of internalized racism, acculturation, and hybridization.
Highlighting the relationship between father and daughter, visual artist and musician, community elder and community activist, the collaborators will play with language, music, image, movement, memory, technology and family history to give voice to fears: fear of not belonging, not measuring up, not connecting and not being remembered.
