Yayoi Theatre Movement Society presents Identity-Ancestral Memory, a multi-media dance project that celebrates the life of the late Japanese Canadian Roy Kiyooka. Identity, which combines the dance form of Noh mask theatre and Butoh dance, uses Kiyooka’s struggle with dual Japanese and Canadian identities to reflect on contemporary issues of integration of Canadian and non-Canadian cultural values.

With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.
