Project Overview
This one-man show, starring Tou Ger Xiong, Hmong storyteller, comedian and rap artist, combines explosive energy, humor, folklore, dance and rap music into an interactive performance that educates about cultural diversity and racial stereotypes. Tou Ger will take you on the journey of his life, from the jungles of Laos, to the refugee camps of Thailand, to the public housing projects of America. It's one hip-hopping cultural experience not to be missed!
