Li-Ming Hu: Can it be I’m not meant to play this part?

Combining narration, reenactment, found footage, karaoke, animation and a sprinkling of augmented reality, Li-Ming Hu’s Can it be I’m not meant to play this part? explores representation, identity and cultural production through the artist’s experiences as a professional actor and emerging artist, in conversation with key moments in the history of Asian American theater.

This program is part of the second season of Sight/Geist, a series at The 8th Floor that supports local emerging film and performance artists. Doors will open at 6pm with The House Edge partially on view. The performance will begin by 6:30pm, to be followed by an artist discussion and Q&A led by George Bolster, Curator at the Foundation. All of our events are free and open to the public, with RSVPs encouraged.
