Collaboration of multidisciplinary AAPI artists premiere "Coloratura US" addressing wartime anxieties, family, and the heartbreak of dreams.

Coloratura US is a world premiere evening by Founder, Director, and Choreographer Jesse Obremski to be premiered the first week of November at Culture Lab LIC during their Emerging Artist Residency program.

This site-specific evening-length work will highlight a colorful array of human emotions, connections, and injustices during war, wartime anxiety, and the heartbreak of dreams, showcasing that AAPI artists can advocate for more than just AAPI subjects.

The work will involve a partnership with Compound Playground to incorporate live music by four musicians with Jesse Obremski as the vocalist, and all of the music being composed by Coldplay. Joined by visual artists, Tsai-Hsi Hung and Midori Furutate, Coloratura US is a world-building and life-affirming juxtaposition to our current global climate.
