SUMMARY:The Face of Jizo
DESCRIPTION:“I saw it full on\, two suns of blazing fire…” \nFather and daughter Takezo and Mitsue Fukuyoshi lead a carefree\, simple existence in East Hijiyama\, Hiroshima. However\, both are plagued by the aftermath of 6th August 1945\, when an atomic bomb was unexpectedly dropped on their hometown. \nThree years later in 1948\, the Fukuyoshis continue to grapple with their trauma. Mitsue is twenty-three\, afraid of loud sounds and finding love. Takezo\, her ever loyal confidante\, worries endlessly for his daughter’s future happiness. How will the pair reconcile their pasts to move on with their present? \nWith endearing performances by Koji Miyoshi and Joanne Ng\, The Face of Jizo by Hisashi Inoue recounts a resilient tale with moments of familial humour\, in the face of postwar tragedy. Directed by Alin Mosbit\, The Face of Jizo marks its first staging in Singapore\, after its acclaimed 2023 run in Sydney. \n  \nPerformance details – THE FACE OF JIZO \n23 to 25 February 2024 \nVenue: Black Box\, Stamford Arts Centre \nWaterloo St\, #155\, Singapore 187962 \nPerformed in English\, no surtitles. \nRun time: 90 minutes\, no intermission \nPlaywright: Hisashi Inoue (1934-2010) \nHisashi Inoue was a leading Japanese playwright and writer of comic fiction.
