Mr. Yunioshi
Written, directed, and performed by J. Elijah Cho
Mickey Rooney's infamous performance as Mr. Yunioshi in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's’ is often pointed to as the most egregious example of yellowface in the movies. His over-the-top characterization is cringeworthy. By flipping the script and casting himself as Mickey Rooney, J. Elijah Cho offers a hilarious and poignant exploration of identity, culture, and the legacy of yellowface representation in Hollywood. “Underneath the non-stop laughter though, there’s a message about the importance of Asian representation in film and television.” -FringeReview, 2019
