It seems that next weekend will be the launch of many Asian Canadian events around town as Mixie and the Halfbreeds will make its premiere. Opening on June 18 and closing on June 28 at the VanCity Culture Lab, Mixie and the Halfbreeds explores themes of mixed ethnicity and the effect it has on an artist’s craft and identity.
Synopsis: Eggs, bananas and an aversion to rice.Two estranged neighbours are not as different as they think. Haunted by peroxide teeth and blondissima hair, Mixie and Trixie tackle a question that has plagued mankind hrough the ages: do blondes really have more fun?A no-holds-barred identity throw-down, Mixie and the Halfbreeds is an optimistic tale for a remixed nation.
Following the June 20th matinee, there will be a discussion with mixed race artists of different disciplines about how identity informs artistic practice and creative process.
