The Oakland Ballet Company along with the Del Sol Quartet and the Volti singers conducted by Robert Geary is proud to present this profoundly poignant, but also inspiring interpretation of Angel Island by composer Huang Ruo. Angel Island portrays the anguish and aspiration experienced by hundreds of Chinese immigrants detained on Angel Island Immigration Station in the decades between 1910 and 1940.
Choreographed by AAPI artists Natasha Adorlee, Phil Chan, Lawrence Chen, Elaine Kudo, Ashley Thopiah, and Wei Wang this work is an informative, impressionistic, sadly relevant, but ultimately uplifting tribute to the fortitude of the human spirit. It is a heartfelt collaboration by a singular group of extraordinary artists, not to be missed.
