Brooklyn-based artist and producer Benjamin Akio Kimitch makes his Pillow debut with Tiger Hands, a work inspired by his varied training in Chinese dance and intimate encounters with Peking opera. The piece honors his late mother, a third-generation sansei Japanese American folk dancer and taiko drummer, with Kimitch's Peking opera technique serving as a channel for reconnection, transformation, and personal expression. The work is performed by Pareena Lim, Julie McMillan Castellano, and Lai Yi Ohlsen, with music by Claire M Singer.
