All-Asian, female-presenting cabaret group The Dynasties wants you to do more than just watch them dance. On August 31, the group's one-hour variety show New Asia is set to "both tantalize the audience and encourage reflection and confrontation of false narratives, boldly challenging stereotypes and dismantling the fetishization of Asian women," event organizers say.
Taking place at Sleepwalk in Bushwick, The Dynasties have crafted their show around themes such as cultural pride and resistance. Their artistry aims to showcase empowered sensuality, cheeky comedy and unwavering dance ability.
The show stars Annika Wong, Emma Stricker, Manatsu Aminaga, Miku Hirayama, Tomo Ishikawa and Youlmae Kim and features Drag Queen Lady Celestina and her sidekick, Ji Jeon. Tickets are $50.
