Yoshikawa WROTE THIS WITH YOU IN MIND

Shaking the Tree is presenting Ken Yoshikawa’s newly devised piece, WE WROTE THIS WITH YOU IN MIND.

February 10 – March 2, 2024

“This is a play for our ancestors. It’s a play for our families. It’s about seeking & waiting for a seemingly nameless grief to arise. It’s about longing after an abandonment. It’s about returning. It’s about the petty sadness that crowns existential dread. It’s about confronting that which would be easier forgotten. We wrote this with you in mind.”
