《勿街粤曲》拍摄了三位生活在纽约的粤剧爱好者，他们当中有中国大陆迁来的粤剧世家，有自幼来纽约的香港移民，也有从古巴移居美国的华裔难民。他们在多次漂泊无定的迁移中探寻身份，在粤剧表演中得到栖息。从回望历史，到记录当下，杨圆圆在《中国城佚事》到《勿街粤曲》两件作品中梳理了粤曲文化在海外是如何对离散族群产生跨越代际的影响。

“Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street” filmed three Cantonese opera lovers living in New York. Shirley, born in Cantonese opera families who immigrated from mainland China; Rosa, Hong Kong immigrant who came to New York since childhood; Wenxiang, Chinese refugee who immigrated to the United States from Cuba. They found their habitat in Cantonese opera performances.

In “Tales of Chinatown”(2019) and “Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street”(2022), Luka Yuanyuan Yang traces the past and now of Cantonese opera fin the American culture and how it has had a cross-generational impact on diaspora Chinese.
