Zak Ma

A truthful odyssey of identity, migration, and self-discovery through the eyes of an unknown Vietnamese immigrant navigating the tumultuous waters of cultural assimilation in America through a tapestry of Butoh dance, introspective narrative, and glittering bits of campy humor.

This is the hybrid show of live performance and film. Exploring the journey to discover Ikigai, a “reason living”. This production invites the audience to experience all the turbulence of emotions through two human bodies by using Butoh (a Japanese avant-garde dance form), visual art and film .
