Sansei: the Storyteller

On December 7, 1941, an attack on Pearl Harbour triggered events in Canada that are among the darkest in our history - the internment and dispossession of tens of thousands of Japanese Canadians. Through an engaging blend of dance, spoken word, and loads of humour, Mark Ikeda weaves a tale that is both illuminating and profoundly personal. Sansei: The Storyteller offers Ikeda's observations about the internment, his own discovery of where he came from, and how Japanese Canadians found peace. This award-winning play has toured across Canada and we are thrilled to present it with One Yellow Rabbit as part of the 2019 High Performance Rodeo.
