ANCESTRAL TABLE

Premiering March 19 & 20, 2026 at The Millwick in Downtown LA. Co-produced by the LA Phil and Liquid Music. MORE INFO

Ancestral Table (in process) is a shared meal and interdisciplinary performance (music, word, movement, film) that examines the relationships between ecology, migration, cultural inheritance and maternal legacy through my Thai mother’s family recipes. Audiences experience an evening-length solo performance presented alongside a communal meal retracing the obscured legacies of my maternal ancestors and their pathways of migration revealed through foodways.

Through this multisensory approach of combined performance and meal, Ancestral Table engages audiences at the intersections of cuisine, ecology, politics, migration, personal histories and memory.

Co-commissioned by The LA Phil, Roulette, The Great Northern Festival, and National Performance Network. In partnership with Liquid Music and American Composers Forum.

Development support provided by Harlem Stage, Mabou Mines, Loghaven Artist Residency and The Bogliasco Foundation.
