Before and After New York, was commissioned for the 2015 Performa Biennale. Created in collaboration with Hong Kong based artists, Royce Ng and Daisy Bisenieks and Kuang-Yu Fong, the project blended sections of CTW’s production “Day Jobs/Opera Dreams”, together with a documentary narrative thread concerning the struggles of a Somali businessman trying desperately to make a living in Hong Kong. The performance starred Kenyan/American actor, Irungu Mutu and New York based dancer, An Nuo.
Before and After New York debuted in 2015 and has been performed at venues including Performa 15 (NYC).
