More info about TALES OF CLAMOR:
TALES OF CLAMOR is a 7-person play centering around two artists (played by Kennedy Kabasares and traci kato-kiriyama) positioned in debate over notions of cultural and institutional silence. Within today’s political climate of Islamophobia and xenophobia, the show links the past with the present by pointing to the 1981 Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) hearings—when the JA community broke their silence for the first time in nearly 40 years after WWII mass incarceration for Japanese Americans. Questions arise around what it means to “show up” now, what it takes to get people to speak out in support of other communities, and how the legacy of incarceration, overcoming silence, and collective clamor serves us today. The world premiere of TALES OF CLAMOR is set for the Aratani Theatre Black Box in February 2019.
