KARADA

Where does the memory go, when the body disappears?

Based  on this question, Asuka J. Riedl interviewed her Japanese grandmother  about her experience in World War II. There is common ground between  what her grandmother witnessed and what people, currently living in war  zones or are connected to war, shared during the research interviews.   What they didn’t voice remains within their bodies.

The solo  performance KARADA unfolds a repeating track of a war, the massive form  of violence. Along the track, there are faces of war that we cannot  learn from textbooks: a victim that can be an offender, an abnormality  that can become part of daily routine, and a sense of powerlessness that  can flip into a resilience. The piece presents the process of how this  generation, not living in a war zone, deals with global conflicts. In  the hope to find an answer to the question: Where does the memory go,  when the body perishes.
