02/21/2015 Zero Hour: Tokyo Rose's Last Tape Central East



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1vmaNCf Stranded in Japan during WWII, a young Japanese-American woman was forced to serve as ‘Tokyo Rose', a radio broadcaster, for a propaganda program controlled by the Japanese Imperial Army, and was subsequently tried for treason. Seventy years later, this historic incident is brought to life through a visually stunning whodunit - conceived, written and directed by internationally renowned visual artist Miwa Yanagi. Brimming with iconic imagery from her rich body of photographic work, “Zero Hour” tells the multi-layered story of a woman caught between two nations during the war. This presentation marks Yanagi's North American debut as a theatre artist.
