Puccini’s tragic opera “Madame Butterfly” is the inspiration for a more humorous and ironic dance interpretation via the Swiss T42 Dance Project‘s “Another Chopstick Story.” T42 is an award-winning, versatile, and dynamic biracial dance and choreography team starring Misato Inoue and Félix Duméril. The pair’s San Francisco debut examines the so-called clash of cultures through lively and unconventional movement metaphors.

These performances by T42 Dance Project are hosted by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture (FMCAC) as part of the San Francisco International Arts Festival, which runs from May 19 – June 5 exclusively at FMCAC. The Festival features more than 100 performances by 50 different ensembles, as well as an expansive arts exhibition celebrating 100 years of the Dada Movement.
