Soul of the City is a captivating live-filmed performance celebrating San Francisco’s Asian American roots. Master Storyteller Brenda Wong Aoki takes us on a magical journey. Four precious talismans – a jade bracelet, a fan, a necklace, and a music box – the touchstones of her life, guide her. Based on autobiographical stories of her mixed ethnic family tree, the objects, like time capsules, reveal her rich family history and weave it into the tapestry of the soul of San Francisco. Each of us has a story. Our stories connect with one another and over time, these stories become one big story. This story lives on, long after its storytellers are gone and becomes the “Soul of the City.”
Presented by First Voice | Brenda Wong Aoki and Mark Izu
