Slanty Eyed Mama May 5, 2007

Trip-hop spoken-word sensation Slanty Eyed Mama comes to DC with a concert of sonic poems, electric violin arias, and satirical politico-comic commentary that deconstructs images of Asians in America. The duo is made up of two Juilliard-trained "good Asian girls gone wild." Classical violin virtuoso Lyris Hung traded her bow for a guitar pick and rock 'n' roll sampler, and award-winning actor-writer Kate Rigg dominates the microphone with her wicked Nuyorasian lyrics. Dissect the show in a post-performance question-and-answer interrogation with the artists. This program is intended for mature audiences. Free tickets are required. Two tickets per person are distributed at the Meyer Auditorium one hour before show time.
