Cynthia Yiru Hu Stars In New Play ANCIENT HISTORY at The Tank

Cynthia Yiru Hu will be performing in ANCIENT HISTORY at The TANK as a part of PrideFest 2023.

ANCIENT HISTORY centers on stories of Queer Asian love throughout history, both modern and past. From the tale of two present-day teenagers trying to embrace their dreams and find their place in the world together. To real-life stories of Queer royalty and artists from centuries ago creating solace, joy, history, and defiance against erasure. These stories explore what it means to find resilience, ingenuity, and to sacrifice in the name of love.
