Kimiko

After a sold-out run at the Ottawa Fringe this summer, Kimiko returns to the stage at the Arts Court Theatre to dazzle and delight audiences as part of the undercurrents festival.

Brian Carroll: In Kimiko, Kreatrix draws on a number of sources, including the WWII internment of Japanese Canadians, their forced diaspora from British Columbia across the rest of Canada, the Shinto performance arts of Edo Daikagura, the art of kimono and obi dressing, and the paper cranes of the young dying girl Sadako Sasaki of Hiroshima.
