Adelaide Festival Centre’s OzAsia Festival presents In Repose, 24 September, Space Theatre and Space Theatre Foyer
Incredibly moving, meditative, beautifully layered storytelling.
From the maker of Chika (OzAsia Festival 2008) comes In Repose, an artistic homage to Japanese migrants who lived and died in Australia since the late 1800s and have become part of this landscape through burial.
In Repose merges story-telling, photography, soundscape, koto music and dance inspired by old Japanese cemeteries in Australia. A kuyo – a Japanese term describing an act of ceremonial offering to respect, honour and calm the spirits of the deceased – In Repose also honours the local Australian Indigenous communities who to this day are looking after the graves of these Japanese migrants, buried far away from their native land.
