ATYPICAL
The Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center presents
The United States of Asian America Festival, featuring:
ATYPICAL: Stories from the anomalous Asian American
Short stories from seven not-so-textbook Asian Americans. These comics, poets, dancers, film makers, and storytellers will challenge your stereotypes of all things "Asian" -- from strict "Chinese" mothers to piano prodigies, from asexual men to bad drivers, from Lucy Liu to Maggie Q! Throw that all out the window!
This show is decidedly NOT about how essentially, deep down, we're all the same on the inside. On the contrary, these Asians are quite ... different ... from the rest of us.
