Fukushima, Japan experienced an earthquake, a nuclear reactor meltdown and a tsunami in quick succession.

In the face of unimaginable human and environmental tragedy, how do artists respond to the aftershock? As local, national and international communities react (or don’t) to global crises and trauma, how do we discuss, document, grieve, remember, fight, or even imagine a new future?

Asia TOPA and Arts House present two works by contemporary Japanese performance-makers influenced by the 2011 disaster. Join Shun Hamanaka, director and writer of Kagerou – Study of Translating Performance, in discussion with Melbourne-based thinkers, writers and activists about life and art after Fukushima.
