Kamioroshi occurs in sacred time and space. It bends and fuses both dimensions to bring a Shawnee and an African American fugitive slave into an encounter with Japanese peasants during the violent and destructive creation of modernity. Discovering that they share many fundamental values in common, they set out on a pilgrimage to rectify the world.Produced by the BU Arts Initiative and Ron Richardson in cooperation with BU College of Fine Arts School of Theatre, co-sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences and the BU Center for the Study of Asia
