from the debts it's remains revealed for the 1st time. paleontologists have called it in iraq, this giga, after a fictional dragon from the game of thrones television series. they say it's the biggest find of its kind yet made accessing. but upon the morocco, this is important because it is the 1st time we have the very complete fossil of a cocker dawn to saw a special group of dinosaurs. it is so complete that we know everything from a whole arm down to the smallest toes. the whole foot and the length of the head. we have a lot of information and this has never happened before. the la karissa, though unrelated to the tyranny's source rex. it's similar in build and features discovered in northern patagonia in 2012. it's taken a decade to excavate the find spreads light on how these huge predators evolved is from the thing of solar carriers mahard under cooksey theorem. they are the largest carnivorous dinosaurs that ever existed. but until now, we didn't have

a complete skull. for example. so many measurements were given that in reality, we're not certain. and finally, we can establish the true size of the skull, come the arms, the legs, and this is fundamental to understand the evolution. obviously, niche, the fossilized remains are remarkably well preserved. providing more pieces to the prehistoric puzzle car, a leg out jazeera ah . type a picture of the headlines here. this, our former japanese prime minister shims obey, has been shot during the campaign event and taken to a hospital. it happened in the city of nara, that's near a soccer, out of the restaurants, louis as more now from calling them put a 42 year old man is reported to have been taken into custody. we are also getting reports that a weapon, a gun has been recovered from the scene, and this is believed to have been the weapon that was used to for i on shin. so ave,

so good to have all 3 of you with us. we're talking about problem mac. take all proper duck shits and you are the people to bring it. daniel. hello, please say hello to our audience around the world. tell them who you are. what uti? i. my name's daniel yolo, writer, actor filmmaker, musician, associate artist stretcher chinese austin. i was just combined aust company in london and found a member of continue member of beads. british e southeast asians in fish and on screen coaches and advocacy group all to have all that. hello 9. know welcome to the stream. these introduce yourself to have you as around the world. i am 90 yoshida, milton. i'm a methodist soprano. i've sung yuki and madame butterfly over 150 times, and i am a co founder of the asian oper alliance. we advocate for asia in the upper industry, and i'm also an artistic advisor at boston. they're a copper so much expertise. i'm excited. hello, feel welcome to the screen. please introduce yourself to our audience around the

world. hi everybody. my name is phil chair, and i'm a and author, a choreographer, and a writer, and co founder a final thought for yellow face and the president of a gold standard or nation. a lot of my work started out around the conversation started about 6 years ago with the artistic director of new york city ballet about how to represent asian characters on stage better, which has snowballed into a much larger global conversation. that a pretty much every major american dollars now part of this conversation to improve how we represent asians on stages. so thank you so much for having me. i think it's how do you think daniel? 9, i feel one question for one is a question for all i know you come to it from different perspectives that start on my laptop. this is why the was doing the show. i caught a headline that surprised me. made me stop. have a look here on my laptop, royal opera status. madame butterfly with changes to respect japanese culture. that to me, that was fascinating. let's start though 9 out with madame

a butterfly. how many times being performed? are you still counting? yeah, definitely. over a $150.00 times, right it's, it's my signature roll. all right, very good. you are a great person to tell us the story. what's the story? i've absolutely, so it's a story of the love story and a tragedy. i won't. i won't tell you of the ending, i'll let you see it. and you can note yourself, once you see the opera, but it is a story about a young girl who falls in love, a japanese girl who falls in love with a naval officer who comes to japan. and it's, it's their love story about how she and she waits for him after he goes back out to see and weights and weights and, and hopes that one day he'll come back. let him go to fly is proper. my take now because of the way certain target is all portrayed. phil, can you take on a couple of the areas that makes it quite difficult to see this production in 2022

. sure. so i think a lot of opera repertory. we have to remember comes from europe and europe has not always had the most enlightened views of people outside of its andrea. so exotic people orient was on it. in many cases. ready the stand to see asia that european creators were using to tell stories outside of their own social norms. and so that was the way it worked back then. it was really innovative. there was a way to, to create new stories and explore new themes, taboo themes, things like race that were not easy to explore in a native setting. however, these works as they continue to be beloved by generation after generation. we also have to recognize that times change our societies are a lot more mixed and we're not just programming for europeans anymore. we're programming for a multiracial audience. and so in order for these are forms like opera to survive,

that come from europe, there were sort of at this crossroads where. ready were like okay, so what do we do with this repertory? but it's beautiful sick merit. but also has sensitive issues are problematic, outdated, caricature versions of different races. so that's what we're grappling, especially as asian americans who are in the are the ones who love it. so much, i'm really coming to it from a place where we don't want to see this work canceled. this is part of our, our legacy and our history as well. but the question is how do we do it better so that we're being more inclusive and not just seeing the whole world. ready through a white man's land from 200 years ago, which doesn't necessarily ring true with who we are today. who are friends? the neighbors are family members. so that's what we're asking. what the question is, how do we keep these work alive? which is a, you know, if you think about it, the opposite of capital culture. right. and i think a very, it's important to also know that when pitching about this,

he had never been to japan. he knew nothing about the japanese other culture. and the way he studied the japanese culture was by going to some kabuki shows in milan . and then he also talked to the japanese ambassador life in japan and asked about them some folk songs. and so that is how he says, i that whole world, the butterfly. yeah. a fancy piece of wet, dank, i had you going to say something? no, as i was going to say it, definitely you know what we're saying is absolutely true. and i think a lot of european drama is kind of bill mom in the 1st grade here of theaters, beef in stage was some tumbling book was from alo, which was set in central asia. and it, you know, for audiences of those days, it was incredibly exciting. i kind of think of it like james bond films and i was a kid. you'd see all these places you were never going to go to if you're working

class get in britain, you would never, you know, i mean, middle class audiences in those days couldn't really, you know, go to japan. i was like, go to the moon frankly. and so we do have this kind of very dated or 9. it was entering sort of cursory, researched, you know, maybe research to the best of his, his abilities and resources at the time. but that was naturally, you know, it's a very, very superficial and kind of exhaust is always view of, of, of a different culture. what is that current flight time coming from a heritage that goes back to east asia. but seeing all culture, your heritage, as a stereotype, what does that feel like? what does that? well, i think a problem. the problem with it is especially, and i think this is, you know, probably true in america as well in britain where, where, you know, if you're, if you're 2nd 3rd, 4th, 5th generation, a lot of time you grow your outside of our culture as well. so what you see is a kind of really weird portrayal of, of something you, you,

you don't really know yourself and you get this kind of awful thing where, where you feel like i don't, i mean, i know i know isn't as an actor sometimes in britain you sometimes feel that you're being asked to imitate an imitation that white people do of asian people, which is really strange. i mean, i only way that, that none of you go fed. second. ok. i always say that i never really identified as asian until people started identify me as asian and putting the entities role. and all of a sudden i was like, oh ok. what does it mean to be japanese? and i had to start and figuring out what being japanese actually meant because it was so far away from, from how i grew up yet. so i think this is also something that many other racial groups feel who are non white and who are in a space where they're in the minority. i think that a lot of these questions about race also. ready uniquely asian situation because

european opera really loved orientalism as a shondra. and so you know, black singers, latino singers, other folks who are from non asian groups, were not necessarily represented on the european stages. and even the top 10 offers that are continually performed. but regularly, there are many asian characters that continue to be performed overseas and tornado . and what we have to think about too is not just the impact on being projected. i think it just touched on that very well is that when we have these ideas in the broader culture about what certain people are supposed to be. so patient women are hyper submissive, but hyper sexual or they're either the keisha or the tornado. right. you know, there's sort of dragon lady sort of pigeonhole people into these. ready ideas and so we, we tend to project these things on to asian people, whether that's, you know, kind of weird fetishizing sexuality or just certain racial ideas or just coded. and

you see this across the theater opera dancer. but, you know, it's all the james bond movies, it's all connected in a, as a part of this broader culture. and so what a lot of asian american talk ourselves are trying to tease those things apart, connect the dots, and say, okay, but within this framework, how do we keep this beautiful work alive? and so what i'm looking at is, is the rural opera house production is still set in this very traditionally oriental us place, which i think is what people are sort of uncomfortable about. and i guess my solution that i was like, a lot of this work, i think there's the focus on solutions that we look at. shakespeare, which is bell, you know, 400 plus years old. i think the reason why his genius survives is because we have the freedom to adapt it and play with it. i mean, how many people can think of a shakespearian play that is not set exactly the way shakespeare wrote it to be. and every time it's set somewhere different, it gives you a nuance or new flavor or gives us a different way of

a mirror to our current moment. and that's what makes it powerful. and for some reason, we're very comfortable staging the magic flute in different settings or lab where you know these other operas that are beloved, but the oriental hist, repertory tornado. madame a butterfly, we seem to which are still stuck in of us. and what i think what i think one thing, what we should do is try to find ways to keep that music. but like shakespeare lay his over production just just tweeting a little bit. so it doesn't have to be at that just kimonos and geisha who are 15 year old girls. i mean, so now quite a few year old girl. busy i have, let me just bring in another voice here. this is jame manami at she's a met, so soprano and she taught us this a little bit earlier. have a listen to jane. she's talking about the effort that the world oper house went to, to be culturally appropriate in this current production of madame a butterfly. they spent a year consulting,

lots of people. this is james reaction to i think this kind of cultural research is great and is definitely a step in the right direction. but unfortunately, the upper house are still using yellow face in the show. they're still using someone else's ethnicity as a costume. and that rings pretty tone deaf for me, considering that i look like what i look like and i can't take it off when i leave the theater. and the reality for people who look like me is that hate crimes against us have risen by over 300 percent since the start of the pandemic. and when i look at a production like this, what it feels like to me is that i've walked into a halloween party where every one has gotten dressed up in a bad racist costume. and there is absolutely no excuses for doing a production that looks like this. in 2020 to 9 out. what is it like being on stage with somebody who is made up to look like that form east asia better than not.

well, it's really interesting because i think, i think traditions have changed a lot in, even in the last few years, i think back when i was 1st doing my 1st bad about applies and how the makeup artist used to actually make me try and look more asia and now i think the trend is started to be using people's own. i more asian when he'll asian. well, i think i remember someone thing. they tried to like flatten out my face somehow with highlighters. and you know, i don't know, it's been many years, but there are ways to do it, you know, and make your eyes look, look more asian. and so i think traditions are changing. and i think one of the most interesting things, and also one of us frustrating things, is the fact that there is no actual definition of what is offensive as yellow. for me, what i find offensive maybe might be completely different from what the next person down the road by that for me it might just be a make up or maybe putting

a geisha weight on. but for somebody is making a nice, a nice guy to dan's face and, and meet our lives and say, stand, make that face one more time than things coming to us life. ok, that's why when you making that face some of those photographs is shocking. i mean, yeah, i mean 9 is right that those, those gradations of what people consider the yellow face. i mean, i, i think if you will pretend it to be an asian, whether you in the make up or not, you'll, you'll kind of doing a form of yellow face, i think. but, but there is obviously the more of a things which is, which is the makeup, which is the whigs is interesting what 9 was talking about being a mixed race asian as well. i have the experience on a film some years ago. they want to be more asian, and it was, it was a beautiful mode when the, when the makeup artist came into the, into the room. and so when she was a black woman and she looked at one look at me and she said,

i'm not doing that insulting creation. which is, which is a nice thing to tara when she said that the air that i did i, oh i, yeah. i this is on youtube and this is a good question, phil, if i, if i do, does that good? oh i, i did want to clarify the difference between yellow faces and oriental and because i think that's where folks can get kind of confused yellow face as a specific you know, like, like is a when you're trying to play a race that you're not as often in a caricature sort of way, i orientalism, which is this larger structure is setting stories that are set in places like china, india, the middle east, where all the characters have to be from that race. i or that's part of the allure . and so i think that a work like madame a butterfly, you know, there's several different ways to talk about specific casting. but i think let's just be clear, that yellow face is more of a caricature pretending to be

a specific asian person. and then and then project so larger you also oriental of them is a larger. yeah. like a story. yeah. okay. i, i, we understand that. all right, so a couple of thoughts coming from at youtube community watching right now. nathi says, i don't think it is important to respectfully portray people. what i want to see is an accurate portrayal of history. whether it is good or bad, instant response stand, fail, and then 9, i just have a quick one to mattie that a my cripple trial of history. i mean, i mean i, i do think when people, to quote historical accuracy, we do get into a, into a kind of ra there where i mean, people sometimes go see shakespeare and they'll see people of color. and they'll say that that's not historically accurate. but if you were going to be historically, or who is shakespeare ever what have terrible teeth, the new releases the about hold on, let me, oh, you oh wait. i say i like to see that

i would just say to just say that there's videos. i mean, that's the, that's the privilege we have now is that you can go back and you can watch mary maria carlos do butterfly. you can watch any star of the past, due butterfly, in any good production you are. so i think that is part of the history, but the difference here is we're in the performing arts, we're not in the visual arts or static arts, right? so, paintings, film, sculpture, photography, those are our forms that capture the zeitgeist of a moment. in the performing arts, we have to make art that reflects the now always, whether it's theater, opera, dance, whatever. and so part of the fund and the challenge and the, the messiness of it is having to change. so if you want just tradition, just like the historical time capsule approach video, i'm sorry because it otherwise it doesn't exist even recreate last nights show exactly the way it was last night. so, you know, when, when we are going to politic, we have to remember also that this is not

a historical story. this is just a love story. it can be set in any time. it doesn't have to be set in the early 19 hundreds, right? so, so there's no reason that we have to keep the story in the past. all right, so i was reading to tell you that for genie himself revised as 5 times to fight versions. so maybe if he was around now, maybe he would, he would walk home, knows at this this, i'm going to put this one straight team. this is from the bow kitchen watching on you chief, thanking the balcony for doing as, why don't you just hire asian pressing as well, why spend a year researching about this? was not a lot of times that is what happened. and a lot of times we are hired for these roles. the unfortunate thing is that these become the only roles that we are ever hired for. so this becomes a sense of pigeon holing. you know, everyone just use me as

a japanese american best as the kind of so of course night is going to thing suzuki and butterfly. but if there's a whole bigger picture, like our stages in every offer, we do need to look like the society we live in. right? and the 2nd, we start just hiring asian singers, the thing and butterfly, we get a lot of trouble. also, if you look, we go back in history, the history between japan and china and, you know, and korea, is it any better if you're hiring a chinese, the piano to sing the lead role as, as a japanese artist? i don't know. and again, it just comes to like even even asian people can be creating caricatures of asians on stage. so i don't know if it's any better or different. the higher asians are you stock in madame butterfly 9. if you're going to be truly earnest, i am placed for the rest of your singing life. hopefully not. and that's one of the reasons i started that you said oper alliance a friend of mine and asked me,

you know, 9 in a, in a traditional season. how many non asian roles do you thing? and i went back and i started counting, and of course, you know, a $150.00 plus the suki is. and in 10 years i had some of the read non asian roles . and so i was like, if i'm to start advocating, you know, i wasn't even aware of the fact that this is what was happening. i wasn't aware of the book dear, neither you never know. never often on the book on the plus side, i never have to learn the book. i know it backwards. i know everybody like, yeah. so how can sacto, tim bo ne, spoke to us a little bit earlier. we're talking about why he thinks this issue. what are the problems here with orientalism in opera? this is what she told us. i appreciate the initiatives that some opera companies are taking to bring in authenticity to mom, a butterfly. but there's still a misunderstanding of what authentic japanese really means. i am

a licensed chemo dresser and have years of experience in japanese tea ceremony and traditional das. yet i once was criticized for not being authentic enough, as suzuki. so i have been wondering what this critics expectations were. so i do hope that more companies will continue to close this gap. another possible solution, of course, is to have more asian artists or artists of japanese descent in these roles in butterfly to help bring more authenticity. so if we go back to the current production of madame butterfly at the royal opera house, he, we did invite to be part of the program, but they were not able to join us. there are 2 cast members of east asian heritage in an entire company of a production that is said in japan to i want to show you this. this is from oliver mir's. he's the royal operas director of ro, opera houses, director of opera. this is what he told the guardian newspaper casting is more

complicated, not least because opera as a more limited talent pool. and for example, that available to film or theater, but performing madame a butterfly with an old japanese or, or asian cast and chorus. even a majority cast and chorus is a holy, unrealistic aim. and would it even be desirable, dan? yeah, i'm, i'm really struggling with. i can't understand the point he's making me. yes, i understand. i did learn about this before when i wrote an article, when they did a tele roll opera house with the, with, with, with a wire to playing or tell of a white singer. and i understand that there's a certain level of technical achievement. you have to have, you know, to, to be involved with us. i could, you can see that. but i mean that, that credit you showed at the beginning of the program of the, of the japanese singer to me that, that, that was, i'm, you spine chilling. i live back now on the back of my neck is incredible. i

cannot. i know 9 has done a $150.00 times and probably is maybe a little bit sick of it. but it sounds like it was a roll of browser. are my go see, i can't, i mean, i guess they're talking about 9 is performance. we're going to end on 9 is singing the flowering jew at the flower to let you know for me. i me, can you tell us into center says what is happening on the clip that we're gonna end on because we want to hear your beautiful place as well as see, talking on the screen. let's just set it up a little bit and where play out with that. it's a joyous occasion of 2 friends talking about being in love. it's another oriental show and also sometimes it's very problematic, but it's one of the most beloved. i'd do that in opera. cannon, all right, and i do want to give a shout out to this is from boston, lyric offers butterfly process film. i was then called b studying film. if you want to check out the whole video, fail and 9,

and thank you very much, daniel. what a pleasure we again and on the beautiful voice of 9, a thing in the flower you out from the production lack me. and so watching everyone see you next time, i think you're going to recognize this music. have a nissan enjoy. ah, intelligence and playful, alters are in high demand, is pets in japan, but concerns are growing over the illegal smuggling and irresponsible breeding of these wild animals. 11 east investigates on all to 0 in just under
