Nora’s Playhouse presents as part of Epic Theatre Ensemble’s Passion Play Coalition Festival:

A stage reading of…

The Fallen

By Yasmine Beverly Rana

From the systematic rape camps of Kalinovik to the rooftops of Sarajevo, the bottom of the Adriatic Sea, and the balconies of Turin, comes a moment of discovery at a time of persecution for the survivors of rape and their children born from it during the Bosnian War. The Fallen gives breath to the stories of the war’s women, children, and their struggle for self-acceptance and reconciliation.

Directed by Caroline Reddick Lawson

From Trinity to Trinity

Original story by Kyoko Hayashi

English translation by Eiko Otake

Dramatic Adaptation by Nora’s Playhouse

Directed by Caroline Reddick Lawson

Performance by Ako

Kyoko Hayashi, a survivor of the A-bomb on Nagasaki at age 14, tells of her pilgrimage more than fifty years later to the Trinity site in New Mexico, test site of the first atomic bomb, and of her life as a hibakusha.

We will be developing the piece further for a public reading in May as part of the Hibakusa Stories Initiative.
