Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki | Auckland Arts Festival

This stunning solo documentary theatre performance tells the astonishing story of the Deaf survivors of Hiroshima using beautifully crafted animation,&nbsp;movement&nbsp;and sound.&nbsp; Through research, interviews and the study of original film footage, London-based Deaf Japanese artist&nbsp;Chisato&nbsp;Minamimura&nbsp;unpacks the hidden perspectives of Deaf people from the small number that survived the horrors of the atomic bomb atrocity in Japan in 1945.&nbsp; Minamimura&nbsp;brings the untold narratives of survivors of the A-bomb – known as ‘hibakusha’ – into stark relief, touching upon the atrocity of the event and its aftermath, including the layers of discrimination experienced by these isolated members of Japanese society.&nbsp; Scored in Silence&nbsp;is available to stream online with English Captions and/or Audio Description.&nbsp;It is performed in British Sign Language (BSL), Visual Vernacular with voice-over in English.&nbsp;Image: Mark&nbsp;Pickthall
