Ms. Passion is a seasoned one off and street performance artist, filmmaker
and vocalist that has traveled across the U.S and internationally speaking
and singing about her own ‘whore revolution’ary sex worker rights politics
in places as far as Taiwan and as local as Venice Beach.
This piece focuses on the plight of the Asian sex worker through a historical
pop culture snapshot of clips from Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Miss
Saigon, Flower Drum Song and Me So Horny! A response to the media portrayal
of all Asian sex workers as victims of pimps and traffickers, juxtaposed
against the true victimization of racism, marginalization and ignorance
around the real lives of sex workers of Asian descent in the U.S and in
Asia.
The show uses popular music, humor and titillating visuals that will lend
a backdrop to her words which aim to entertain, educate and stimulate! Happy
Ending no extra charge!
