Ping Chong & Company's ALAXSXA | ALASKA

October 12 – October 29, 2017
7 – 2PM

NY PremiereDirected by Ping Chong & Ryan ConarroA Production of Ping Chong + CompanyCreated by Ping Chong, Ryan Conarro, Justin Perkins& Gary Upay'aq Beaver (Central Yup'ik) ALAXSXA | ALASKA is a theatrical collage of multimedia, puppetry, and Central Yup’ik drum and dance, illuminating striking moments of cross-cultural encounter in the epic, changing landscapes of Alaska. The three performers use movement and puppetry to reveal a series of little-known historical narratives of collisions between people and cultures in Alaska. These histories–at times humorous, at times tragic–juxtapose against Beaver and Conarro’s own personal memories as “insider” and “outsider” in the Last Frontier.
