Dear you
Sakai International Community Arts
Sakai, JAPAN
ON-SALE FRIDAY 29TH AUG via the Mercury Theatre Website
If you could write just one letter, who would you address it to?
Set against the backdrop of Japanese society, this story journeys through the lives of various women. It brings to light the unspoken truths of those who lived in times when they were not allowed to speak.
The voice of a woman who worked harder than anyone else, yet was swallowed by society and left unheard.
The abandoned dream of a ballerina who lost even the meaning of dance.
Dear...
A letter which was never delivered.
Feelings left unspoken.
Was the envelope left unsealed out of fear?
Or because it was already known it would never reach its destination?
If only it had been sent—
And now,
that letter with no name,
has finally found its way—
to you.
Kanna Mishima is a contemporary Japanese dancer with a background in ballet, using these experiences to address social issues in Japan through her own unique style and continuously searching for new forms of expression.
She has performed in Japan and across Asia, this time she is taking an important step—her first solo work.
