Tri’s just a punk, guys. This bio is just to tell y’all that Tri’s a punk. Also, he did Open Eye’s Driveway Tour in Summer 2021, once people were somewhat vaccinated. The main character, Binh, was Viet; the show was adapted by his Viet puppet maker friend and now leaser, Oanh Vu. Oanh is cool, find her stuff. Find Tri in Minneapolis trying to talk about (eroding) capitalist realities and leftist things in kinda maybe everyday ways with Asian and sometimes non-Asian peoples, mostly in the nonprofit industry because of Bills To Pay. This is Tri’s first public, self-made solo puppet show.
