Kimiko
A poetic circus show that explores Japanese arts and Japanese Canadian history
What happens to a community when thousands are imprisoned because of their race? Kimiko explores this question through a powerful blend of circus, storytelling, and traditional Japanese arts. This award-winning performance traces the generational impact of the mass incarceration of Japanese-Canadians during WWII, weaving documentary and family narrative into a moving journey of healing and self-discovery that ultimately calls for a more compassionate and peaceful world. Expect sword swallowing, juggling, laughing and learning. "Kimiko is sure to delights audiences of all stripes!"
The show lasts 50 minutes with an optional origami workshop at the end that lasts 20 minutes.
