PAPER FLOWERS
Written & directed by Alli Kiko Masloske

Miya stars as Keiko/Young Nanami in the world premiere of PAPER FLOWERS, playing both mother and daughter in different timelines — and as two distinct, but deeply connected characters.

Set in 1970s Chicago, a Japanese-American family finds their seemingly peaceful routine upended by racial tensions over the Vietnam war. With its ambitious 11-cast ensemble and nonlinear structure, PAPER FLOWERS examines the cycle of generational trauma and finding strength through community. Drawing parallels between 1970 and the World War II US incarceration camps, the show plays with the continuity of memory and what it means to survive. At its core, PAPER FLOWERS is about how love in all shapes and forms can be an active form of resistance.

You can watch PAPER FLOWERS June 7, 13, 20, 27, and 28 at LAPAC as a part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
