Kagerou – Study of Translating Performance (Theatre)

February 15, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - February 18, 2017 @ 7:30 pm AEDT

$30 – $45

As part of Asia TOPA 2017, Arts House welcomes Japanese docu-performance mavericks Hamanaka Company.

 

On 11 March 2011, a woman living in Hisanohama, a port town in Fukushima Japan, lost her husband when he was swept away by a tsunami.

Kagerou – Study of Translating Performance is an intimate, documentary-style performance that tells a women’s story through her own words and voice. Or so it seems.

Interweaving sound recordings and video footage from Hisanohama, Kagerou – Study of Translating Performance also features simultaneous Japanese/English interpretations to create an immersive and uniquely powerful meditation on translation in the aftermath of Fukushima.

 

Duration: 50 mins.
