Utopian Hotline (Planetarium)
2025, Theater Mitu company Member
Part performance, part intergalactic transmission, this performance transforms the Planetarium into a space for radical storytelling beneath the stars — where sound, science, and imagination collide. Inspired by NASA’s 1977 Voyager Golden Record and shaped by voices from our own time, Utopian Hotline invites you to listen, reflect, and envision a future worth reaching for — where real voicemails become a collective vision of tomorrow.
Presented by ArtsEmerson and the Museum of Science, this live production blends voicemail confessions, music, and full-dome visuals inside the iconic Charles Hayden Planetarium.
Bloodlines 血脉 (online)
2022, co-director w/ Sim Yan Ying
As artists hailing from a different locale in the Sinosphere, we are tracing the pathways of migration, globalization, and sociopolitical upheaval. From the words and stories of our grandparents, which crossed continents and decades to be passed onto us, we are seeking to explore the divergences and convergences in our learned history, narrative, and memory -- particularly in a time of great divisiveness and rising anti-Asian sentiment.
(holy) BLOOD
2024, Theater Mitu Company Member
Part live-scored silent film, part irreverent midnight movie– (holy) BLOOD creates an entirely original sonic landscape to accompany manipulated pieces of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cult-classic film Santa Sangre. Violently shattered across screens and accompanied by explosive blood choreography, the work remaps a story of circuses, blood cults, madness, and forgiveness.

2021, Director & Multimedia designer
A multi-sensory experience brought to life with binaural sound and live video (and live cooking), Waters of Oblivion (迷魂湯) takes audiences on an immersive journey into the underworld, where Meng Po, the Lady of Forgetfulness, feeds the souls of the deceased a special brew to help them forget their previous lives before reincarnation.
Anna May Wong, The actress who died a thousand deaths
2019, Director & Playwright
The Actress Who Died a Thousand Deaths utilizes ‘live cinema theater’ to both recreate and reimagine moments from Anna May Wong’s films and life; to subvert type-casted and Orientalist tropes of the original and offer a ‘re-framing’ on stage.
seen/unseen
2023, co-devisor
A piece conceived as an extension of Fred Wilson’s Mind Forged Manacles/Manacle Forged Minds installation in Columbus Park, Brooklyn. A multimedia movement performance considering the power and implications of asserting/subverting agency, the act of surveillance, and who is looking in (or who is looking out).
Utopian Hotline
2021, Theater Mitu company Member
A telephone hotline, a vinyl record, a performance.
Is anyone out there? Is anyone listening? Are we alone? In 1977, NASA launched the twin Voyager spacecrafts to try and answer these questions. Aboard both is an artifact intended to communicate who and what we are: The Golden Record. After traveling over 13 billion miles, this proverbial message in a bottle is the farthest human-made object from earth. If we were to send another message into the distant future, what message would we send?
