Demure Asian Rage is a multidisciplinary structural improv piece involving taiko, flute, electronics, poetry, and movement. This work explores how rage manifests in the context of being Asian, non-binary, genderfluid and AFAB individual in a world that frequently marginalizes such identities. What if our inner world was allowed to be free? What happens when rage and joy are encouraged to be unleashed? Demure Asian Rage is created by flutist/taiko drummer/composer Leanna Keith and taiko artist/composer Yeeman “ManMan” Mui. Poetry by Shin Yu Pai. With opening set by Josh Hou.

The work is being created in collaboration between flutist/taiko drummer/composer Leanna Keith and taiko artist/composer ManMan Mui. Both artists are Asian-Americans with Chinese (Mainland and HongKong respectively) backgrounds who chose to use a Japanese traditional art form as their mode of expression. Both artists have a focus on storytelling through musical expression, choreography, and theming. Together, they believe they can create something truly unique in both the realm of taiko and experimental art.
