大院食堂 The Canteen

“The Canteen” is a performance created by Zhu Dandan (my mother), Matt Pi and myself. I translated Dandan’s essay “The Canteen” into English, and sent it to my musician friend Matt with other music samples from 1970s China as a prompt, he then created a music response to this essay. This was performed on Oct 3rd and Nov 7th, 2022 at Richmond Hill Public Library, to both our workshop participants, Richmond Hill community members and the library staff.
