In 1965, the world lived under a shadow — the threat of nuclear war, the iron grip of governments. But in the midst of fear, a different kind of revolution was born. It wasn’t fought with weapons — it was fought with songs. With electric guitars, pounding drums, and voices that refused to be silenced. A new generation unleashed a revolution of the human spirit. The music of 1965: It wasn’t just the soundtrack of a movement — it was the movement. Poway OnStage on Facebook / Instagram

Filmmaker and performer Michelle Sui invites audiences into "Seaweeds," a cinematic, ritualistic performance blending live music, original film, and poetic narrative. Sui’s work moves fluidly between dream and memory, drawing on mythic archetypes and personal storytelling to create an atmosphere that is at once intimate and otherworldly. Blurring the lines between cinema and live performance, "Seaweeds" reimagines the lost ending of "The Toll of the Sea"—the 1922 silent film that introduced screen legend Anna May Wong (1905–1961) in the first-ever Technicolor motion picture. In Sui’s bold re- envisioning, actors audition for Wong herself, who breaks free from the script and takes off to Paris and Tijuana in search of her on-again, off-again girlfriend. Past/present and onscreen/offscreen selves begin to blur as performers slip between roles and realities. An Asian-American cast conjures a world where time folds in on itself and stories are rewritten and reclaimed. Project [BLANK] on Facebook / Instagram
