The Slant Performance Group premiered with their critically acclaimed show- "Big D*cks Asian Men" in 1995 at La Mama E.T.C., New York City's landmark world and experimental theater. Performances are a dynamic tapestry of original live music interwoven with social satire. Slant ingeniously fuses puppetry, guitars, drums and percussion, voice, and bamboo flutes into dynamic, engaging storytelling. The group has created eight original high-energy theatrical productions with live original music composed by the three members, Richard Ebihara, Wayland Quintero, and Perry Yung.
