The Story of Crow Boy
Thu, July 13 2017 - Sat, July 15 2017 · 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
In the Heart of the Beast
The Story of Crow Boy explores the difficult life yet compassionate vision of artist Taro Yashima. Yashima was imprisoned and tortured in the militarized fervor of Japan just prior to WWII and then faced discrimination in the USA as a Japanese émigré. Somehow despite such human brutality, he developed an ongoing faith in the sanctity of all peoples. This production draws on his autobiographical and fictional books including the Caldecott Award-winning CROW BOY (1955) about a young boy who learns to sing the “voices of crows” in defiance of his years of being bullied.
Created by Masanari Kawahara, Sandy Spieler, Steven Epp and Momoko Tanno.
