CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents Planting Seeds of Peace in America, a dance and film event marking the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This powerful program features rare U.S. performances by Japanese choreographer and dancer Chizuko Kotani, a second-generation atomic bomb survivor, her Kyoto-based ensemble P Company, and butoh master Nobuo Harada, known for bridging humor and gravity in his striking solo work.

NYC-based butoh artist Azumi Oe will present her solo “Solitude.” The evening also includes a screening of Chris Fiore’s short film A Few Laughed.

This year, as Hiroshima marks 80 years since the bombing and the Hibakusha organization is honored with the Nobel Peace Prize, we invite you to join in a deep reflection on peace and the horrors of war through the power of movement and memory. The artists’ decades-long commitment to cross-cultural healing through art takes on new urgency in today’s global climate.

This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing).
