Upintheair Theatre Presents Peihwen J Tai, Yi Ming Liu, and Benjamin Yee's

The Yoko Ono Cult

Can art go too far?

Dates: May 22 @ 6:30 pm May 31 @ 6:15 pm

The Yoko Ono Cult follows the divergent artistic journeys of sisters Elle and Emme. The latter sprints down the path trodden by their late mother; the former strays from it at every opportunity. A multi-talented and prolific artist, the sisters’ mother ended her life on stage performing a highly inadvisable stunt. In the aftermath, she has left behind two young artists who could not look upon her legacy in much more different a manner. Observe as stars rise, cogs turn, temperaments clash, puppets dance, and a sum total is created which exceeds itself.
