Miss Tanaka
26 September 2012 - 30 September 2012
This marionette performance tells the story of pearl divers in Australia, focusing on Kazuhiko, a child born of Australian Aboriginal and Japanese parents. Before the Second World War, immigrants from Malaysia, the Philippines, China and Japan dived in the ocean off the coast of Broome in Australia to search for pearls – the highly-prized “jewels of the sea”. Money, love, discrimination – this fast-paced, sometimes comical performance explores the darker side of human beings trapped by their desires.
“Miss Tanaka” by Australian writer John Romeril will come to Japan this September for the first time ever!
Organised by Magozaburo Youki
Directed by Tengai Amano,
Music/Live performance by Matthew Doyle (Didgeridoo), Tony Lewis (Percussion) and Hiromichi Sakamoto (Cello)
