Tida weaves music, storytelling, movement and film into an evening-length performance exploring maternal lineage and intergenerational cultural identity. Prescott investigates her mother’s undocumented Thai ancestry, her experience as a Southeast Asian immigrant raising biracial children in the American Midwest, and the resulting impact of her choices on three generations of women.
“A masterfully envisioned interdisciplinary work... a captivating investigation of Prescott’s maternal heritage and our American life.” — The Washington Post
