theatre review
“Hibakusha:” profound and moving
By Kelleyanne Pearce
Of •» Emerald
It is 1949. Some survivors of
the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima are learning how to
speak English in a foreign
language school The children
tease a young girl who has
wooden leg, calling her "Miss
Woodstick " A boy defends her
from the teasing, and tells how
he does not love her, but deeply
feels for her.
This beginning to the play
"Hibakusha: A Love Story from
Hiroshima", by the Modern
Times Theater of New York, is
one of the many scenes of sur
vival in post-war Hiroshima. The
five actors, two black and three
white, transcend the racial and
cultural barriers of the
Japanese characters They play
various roles throughout the
play, depicting orphans,
students, sailors, members of a
once wealthy family, workers
forced to work menial jobs,
members of a survivors assoc
iation. and film actors
Modern Times Theater was
founded in 1977 to create plays
about the human realities of
social change, and issues which
are socially relevant to our
times When asked why the
group chose this theme from
among many issues, Steve
Friedman, author of the play,
said,"it is the most important, it
is a question of life."
The groups Eugene
performance was the last a five
and-a-half week tour that
stretched from the East coast to
the West coast The play's
name, Hibakusha (hi-bak'-sha),
is a "polite" word for explo
sion-affected person or people,
meaning the survivors of the
atomic bombs dropped on Hi
roshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
The actors depict life in the
"new world" after the explo
sion, a life of alienation and
disorientation where there is no
future, but only the past
Joan Rosenfels played Kiku
Maetani, the girl with the
wooden leg, who is the central
character throughout the play
Kiku and Hiroshi Okamoto,
played by Tony Todd, manage
to hold on to a tenuous
relationship in their uncertain
worlds. Peggy Pettitt, Janet
Langon, and Steve Friedman
played the various characters
which revolve around Kiku and
Hiroshi, who are based on
actual people.
The powerful conclusion to
the play with the characters
acting for a film company their
experiences during the explo
sion, describing the horrors
they saw and felt, silenced the
audience of fifty for several
minutes.
“Hibakusha" was profound
and moving, bringing home the
realities of an atomic war.
