Our Past Performances

JACK

Tongues is a gathering, an event, and a performance where we’ll re-enact the most mundane daily moments, belt out our go-to karaoke songs, and, of course, explore the art of swearing in our native Asian languages. Join us as we connect and create new, shared experiences through the power of our mother tongues

University Settlement

Join for a day of performance, healing, and celebration — through words, sound, and voice. Whether you speak one language, two, or something in-between, Tongues is for you.

Tongues is more than a performance — it’s a bilingual gathering, an offering, a space to honor your mother tongues, your migration stories, and the in-betweens.

We spent 3 months developing community workshops at university settlement community centers and senior centers. And we created this performance with and for communities in Chinatown, New York.
