Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
"The Wong Street Journal" is a new one-woman show from performance artist and comedian Kristina Wong.
It's billed as "part psychedelic TED lecture, part amateur hip-hop extravaganza, and part nonsense."
The show was inspired by a trip Wong took a few years ago to Africa and it tackles a wide range of subjects— social media, economic theory, poverty and race.
The show opens tonight at the REDCAT theater in downtown L.A.
Take Two host Alex Cohen recently caught up with Kristina Wong as she was rehearing for the show, and talked with her about her approach to performance art— infusing tough issues with humor.
