VISIBLE - Mujō Dream Flight in Concert ft. Aki Oshiro
2026-04-04 16:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Hear the thunderous rhythms of the drums that affirm our beautiful, resilient existence. Come feel the energy and celebrate the power of being truly seen. Mujō Dream Flight’s first full-length concert, VISIBLE, celebrates Trans Day of Visibility and explores how we resist social erasure when our race, gender, class and disability are all under attack.
This concert is sponsored in part by TaikoVentures and Creative West which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Mujō Dream Flight (MDF) is the artistic vehicle of founding taiko artists Sasen Cain, Yeeman “ManMan” Mui, and Maxyn Rose Leitner. Based in Los Angeles, they collaborate locally and globally with other predominantly trans/non-binary taiko artists, creating both original works and traditional adaptations. MDF’s art centers dance and personal storytelling informed by their specific cultural backgrounds.
In 2023, MDF organized Blurring the Color Line with Taiko, a well-attended and deeply engaging afternoon arts experience connecting important questions about race, immigration, culture, and American-ness. The event allowed us all to hear from filmmakers, performing artists, community leaders, educators, and ethnomusicologists, as they share their experiences and ideas.
The same year, MDF embarked on its first national tour, called “Haimweh” (Bavarian for homesickness), with the dual aims of highlighting trans/non-binary peoples’ often-fraught connections with their hometowns & families, and a journey of retrieving the belongings of one of our members whose parents don’t accept faer transness, and reclaiming identity, belonging & inter-dependence. This tour was funded, in part, by a Taiko Community Alliance Tier 1 grant.
MDF gave voice to Queer Asian community in LA with our performance at:

The inaugural Okaeri’s Queer Obon (2023).
Transforming Community Care: AANHPI LGBTQIA2-S Mental Health and Wellness by LA Department of Mental Health
Cross cultural solidarity movement, the importance of being with community – FandangObon (2024)
Fusion, genre – the North American Taiko Conference in Phoenix, AZ (2025).

In The Makings of a Lady, Broadway’s Syndee Winters honors the legendary Lena Horne through high-spirited one-woman theatrical performance. Winters masterfully performs Horne’s classic Great American Songbook elegance with personal storytelling, character work, as well as hits from her own starring roles in The Lion King and Hamilton.

Inspired by the album Syndee Winters Sings Lena Horne, the evening unfolds through a series of musical performances, character portrayals, and imaginative storytelling. Syndee Winters embodies a cast of special guests – all portrayed by herself – who gather to honor Lena Horne and reflect on the many facets of womanhood, artistry, and resilience that Horne represented.
The musical program features beloved selections from The Great American Songbook, including signature songs associated with Lena Horne such as “Stormy Weather” and “The Lady Is a Tramp.” The evening also expands beyond the classics, weaving in contemporary musical selections that highlight both Syndee’s career on Broadway and how Horne’s influence continues to echo through today.
The show moves seamlessly between jazz standards, theatrical monologues, and playful backstage moments. The result is a sparkling homage to an icon whose elegance, courage, and artistic excellence helped shape American entertainment.
