Event Details

In Anti-Cartesian Variety Show, collaged, written and directed by Jess Nguyen, you’ll experience an avant-garde solo performance, a cozy movie night, a standup comedy show, a documentary and autoethnography, and a philosophical address rolled into one. Informed by the author and director’s research into the Vietnamese Avant-Garde, this show explores how language, place, and identity collide within all of us through an autobiographical, interactive multimedia experience. The result is a journey that is both delightful and powerfully moving. 

Performances will be on Friday, March 1, at 7:30pm and Saturday, March 2 at 2:00 and 7:30pm in the James A. Williams Theater. Tickets are free and will be first-come, first-serve.
