About this event
IKKAI means once: a transplanted pilgrimage, commissioned by Japanese American Citizens League San Jose Chapter, is an evening length dance choreographed by Yayoi Kambara. It weaves together modern dance, a Japanese American (JA) Obon folk dance titled Ei Ja Nai Ka, and taiko drums, exploring the unjust incarceration of JAs, struggles for healing, and current solidarity with communities facing violence. IKKAI shares experiences of Japanese Americans (JA) illegally incarcerated during World War II and dreams of a collective future where this kind of injustice will never happen again.
In between the 4:00pm and 7:00pm performances, you are invited to join us for our community engagement reception from 5:30pm - 6:45pm. We will provide light refreshments followed by reflective activities and concluding with a Q&A session with Yayoi Kambara.
The Buddhist Church Betsuin building is ADA accessible and an ASL interpreter will be signing at the 4:00pm show.
Face coverings are required for all attendees. Thank you for your understanding.
