After a sold-out, twice-extended season at the Old Fitz Theatre in 2023, Seymour Centre and Omusubi Productions are excited to present the highly-anticipated Sydney revival of Hisashi Inoue's The Face of Jizo, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The story takes place in Hiroshima some three years after the dropping of the atomic bomb on that city on 6 August 1945. Mitsue, a young librarian, arrives home to find her father Takezo there. She has not seen him for three years. As their story unfolds, she must confront the truth of what happened on the day the bomb fell, under the mushroom cloud.
Tender, beautiful and seasoned with moments of familial humour, this powerful and ever relevant two-hander will also feature selected performances presented in the original Japanese with English surtitles.
