To Be Heard X Unheard is an interdisciplinary experimental music theatre project with multi-media collaboration speaking of East Asian women experiences- cultural transformation, cultural experiences, and self identities in the United States. It is an interdisciplinary project between music, theatre, dancing, and visual arts, with multimedia from live acoustic and electronic music; monologue and crew acting; modern dancing; to visual artworks, photography, and experimental short films. The project is based on stories that are collected from actual interviews, autobiographical writings, real events, and Asian American Women literatures.
