Slanty Eyed Mama, the dynamic duo of lyricist and singer, Kate Rigg (Lady-K) and electric violinist Lyris Hung, creates hilarious, witty and sharp social commentary combining music, spoken word, story-telling and modern butoh dancing. This theatrical concert involves music, spoken word, characters and monologues based on oral history interviews with Asian Americans all over the country—conducted by Slanty Eyed Mama while on tour. The piece looks at the American Dream through the eyes of Asian America and includes outreach and workshops with teens.
