Tangram And Asian Comedy Showcase: Remix

Tangram are flipping the script with an evening of comedy and new music by East and Southeast Asian creatives. The spirit of it? Punching back at Orientalism in Western classical music and bringing audiences into their own imaginative soundworlds and hilarious stories.

Hosted by comedian Sam See, Tangram’s newest project intertwines an eclectic range of commissioned music for Western and East Asian instruments with live comedic performances. Featuring new music by Beibei Wang, Dasom Baek and Alex Tay - alongside reimagined arrangements of works by Giacomo Puccini, Claude Debussy and more - Tangram thoughtfully reframe perspectives on Chinese cultures. Accompanied with comedic performances by Ken Cheng, Blank Peng, Jinhao Li and Jen Zhang, they cross lines between cultural appropriation, dialogue and celebration, all in their own words.

Come join Tangram to explore questions of identity and ownership through creative experimentation, parody and of course, laughter. In their refusal to be essentialised, they’re ready to have some fun.

Presented by the LSO and Tangram.

This is a 16+ event.
