MOCA PERFORMS – Echoes of Arrival: Becoming is a live performance at the Museum of Chinese in America in which immigrant artists share stories of migration, transformation, and becoming. It was conceived by Dennis Yueh-Yeh Li and is devised and performed by Shan Y. Chuang, Nikkiesha N. McLeod, Timmy Ong, Pascal Phoa, Jeremy Rafal, Nedelka Sotelo, and Fang Tseng. Seven immigrant artists from Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago reflect on their journeys to the United States—what they had to learn to survive and build a life, what they chose to carry with them from home, and what new parts of themselves emerged along the way. Through personal narration, poetry, music, dance, and stand-up comedy, they share these experiences on stage.
