Hiroshima: crucible of light

On a clear night, there—star upon star, sun upon sun, and who can but imagine what other worlds may be there, sight unseen …

Starring : J. Robert Oppenheimer, Marie Curie, the perfect nuclear family, Albert Einstein, the Fool from King Lear, a mysterious woman in a wheelchair, a butoh dancer, a boy cellist...and the bomb.

"Hiroshima is a close look at what can happen in barely the time it takes to blink an eye...the various pieces of the collage: the music, the video, and the performers, create a very fine show. The play is frightening and thought provoking, leaving its audience to wonder about all the 'what ifs' in life."
