The No-No Boy concert is a 60-90 minute multimedia event which combines original songs, storytelling and archival images to provide the audience with an immersive experience which explores difficult histories of immigration, refugees, race, empire and incarceration.  By transforming his doctoral research into a concert, Saporiti delivers a deeply researched performance which entertains as it educates, deftly blending scholarship and art and offering a model for public facing academic work.  The content of the project focuses largely on Asian American and transpacific stories.
