Please feel free to use the following descriptions of A Grain of Sand in your advanced publicity of the performance.
Standard descriptionA GRAIN OF SAND A Grain of Sand is a solo saga of one Asian American woman breaking through the forces of silence to find her own song. In a poetic fusion of story, song, movement, and video imagery, Nobuko unravels her tales from days of Japanese relocation to the recent events of the Los Angeles uprising. As a young and willing subject of American culture and media, she rejects the ties to her own traditions to "make it" in show biz. But during the late 1960's, the rhythms of change inspire a compelling pilgrimage as she finds her voice as an activist and singer in the Asian American movement, crossing borders into the Black, Latino, and Native American struggles. Awakened by the possibilities and defeats, A Grain of Sand becomes a ritual that takes us beyond the chasms of color and culture ... into the oneness.
