“The sweeping melodies, multilayered harmonies, and resonant imagery swept the audience into a sonic journey.”(Fete Chinoise)
Double Happiness: Detour This Way tells the personal and communal stories of Chinese
migration to Vancouver. Featuring 13 original songs by Nancy Tam and Only A Visitor’s Robyn
Jacob, Double Happiness braids history with an art-pop aesthetic, weaving live music, sound
design, and video vignettes with generations of stories.
Here’s your chance to connect deeply with the optimism and complexity of new beginnings.
