A stage reading of the script "Anna May Wong: PERSONA" by Kai Xing Mun.
A look through memories, and an imagination of what went on behind-the-scenes about the legacy of Anna May Wong, Hollywood’s first Chinese American movie star.
Hollywood, racism, and familial disapproval would stand against everything that made her entire being. However her journey would turn her into an international star as she became close friends with fellow legendary actors Philip Ahn and Paul Robeson, immersing herself in the arts beyond the States like grand dame Josephine Baker did, and finding affectionate feelings and fierce rivalries with co-stars like screen siren Marlene Dietrich.
As she journeys from the past to the present from her travels around the world, she must reckon with herself. Through trauma, loss, and depression, what kept pushing her to become an actress?
