See full performance video on BBQ’s Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bbq6914 BBQ activates different cultural Asian American boroughs throughout NYC by way of site specific, time and spiritual theme based series of live performances. BBQ is a walking priestess spectacle bridging a portal between the new and the ancient, they are the mutation of traditional urbanism. BBQ is a nomadic theater seeking to enlighten the voyeur beyond the senses. In each NYC AAPI cultural community, BBQ will embody the identities of different spiritual and mythological Asian deities, Gods and folk heroes of relevance and reverence through a combination of transdisciplinary healing modalities such as hand made spirit masks, fleshmask (painted face), costumery, ritual, spiritual paraphernalia, natural artifacts and a traveling nomadic mobile vessel called “Mother Yurt”. Mother Yurt space invites different cultures, identities, communities and dreams into one unifying dome eradicating all social barriers. YELLOWTERROR x NYC Performance Series is a social and spiritual empowerment psychosomatic collective energy uproot project designed to spread light and healing – bringing the sacred to the audience in an effort inspire and help instigate self-medicine for the individual and collective community. YELLOWTERROR x NYC project is a study in and the building of human belief systems, religion, the meaning of spirituality and faith recognition. #erikotsogo #bbq #bouncebackqween #bouncebackqueen👑💎🤎 #performance #nycperformance #nyc #nomadicperformance #transdisciplinary #yellowterror #yellow #aapi #aapiperformances #spirituality #religion #god #hero #culture #mythology #Buddhism #Shamanism #masks #tsam #fleshmask #ritual #motheryurt #dragonfest #dragon #lunar #red
