Make Banana Cry
Buy Tickets
“banana” isn’t just slang — it’s a symbol of the performance, erasure, and reclamation of self.
Choreographers Andrew Tay and Stephen Thompson are the co-creators of Make Banana Cry, a genre-defying work merging runway aesthetics with contemporary performance and dance.
In an attempt to shake off the weight of representation and fetishization, an international cast of six East Asian artists critique, parody, and protest stereotypes of “Asian-ness.”
