Found in Translation, a collaboration between Asian American Theatre Artists of Boston (AATAB), Chuang Stage, and Pao Arts Center, is a three-part series of multilingual staged plays and community gatherings; activating Chinatown's public spaces from Spring 2023 to Fall 2023, Found in Translation amplifies the power and complexities of being multilingual, immigrants, or identifying as Asian American in Greater Boston. From Hong Kong’s 90s pop star Leslie Cheung and his queer revolution, to the retelling of the Hindu epic The Ramayana, these open-air performances connect the pan-Asian community through conversations about race, language, identity, and our experiences when it comes to belongings and a collective more just future. www.aataboston.com www.paoartscenter.org www.chuangstage.org @paoartscenter, @chuangstage, @aataboston
