My Daughter, My Karma

In My Daughter, My Karma, choreographer Hiroko Kelly explores intergenerational relationships and cross-cultural identity by combining contemporary dance and spoken word with original dialogue.

Rooted in the second-generation immigrant experience, the work examines how cultural memory, care, and inherited values move through the body across generations. The piece questions how our ancestors' choices can influence present-day karma.

By examining these relationships, My Daughter, My Karma highlights the humanity and resilience of the immigrant experience and considers how cultural practices serve as a tether to identity across time and place
