The Breaking Down Walls project showcases how the performance arts can build common ground for recognition and celebration of our shared humanity.

Artists from a variety of disciplines will explore, through their artistic voices, the divisions we currently face along political, religious, social, racial and economic lines. This special performance arts event is a humanitarian aid fundraiser. All proceeds will be donated to House of Ukraine.

Princess Grace Award recipient Mia J. Chong, in special collaboration with the movement artists of Post:ballet plus multi-instrumentalist and composer Vân-Ánh Võ, will explore the journey towards discovering commonality beyond the walls that divide us. The power of togetherness will be celebrated through the blending of sound and movement in this dynamic, multi-faceted contemporary dance work.

Vân-Ánh Võ has been invited to play at Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Yerba Buena Performing Arts Center, the London Olympic Games 2012 and more.

This event is offered in-person at the Cowell Theater at Pier 2 in San Francisco on June 11 and online June 26.

KQED is a media sponsor of this event.
