TALES OF CLAMOR is a hybrid theatre, aerial arts, movement and media performance project that bends time through past and present, exploring cultural and institutionalized silence on the path to collective clamor, justice and healing. TOC digs into the politics of silencing, including the Model Minority “Strategy”, and a little-known moment of American history: hearings for the 1981 Commission on Wartime Relocation & Internment of Civilians that led to the win of Redress & Reparations for an entire community of people incarcerated during WWII. TOC includes extensive community engagement - prioritizing community in the artistic process and spaces to facilitate creative response to the material.
