Performing Arts: Dance Yoshiko Chuma and the School of Hard Knocks present POOM², A Page Out of Order M to M

  • Poom_event_full

Osaka native Yoshiko Chuma and her School of Hard Knocks bring artistry and politics to their multimedia dance piece POOM², A Page Out of Order M to M. The 90-minute show is a timely, poetic exploration of the desolation and upheaval that accompanies cultural and political strife, inspired by Teinosuke Kinugasa's 1927 silent insane-asylum film, A Page of Madness. POOM² also features vocalist Sizzle Ohtaka and a shakuhachi trio, Japan's Hannya Teikoku, video by Dave Thoudam, and spoken word by Manipur's Somi Roy.
