Amaterasu Za, New York’s only bilingual Japanese-English theater company, presents the New York premiere of From Trinity to Trinity, a powerful one-woman play based on the autobiographical writings of Kyoko Hayashi, a survivor of the Nagasaki atomic bombing. The play follows Hayashi’s 1999 pilgrimage to the Trinity Site in New Mexico, where the bomb that changed her life was first tested.
Performed by acclaimed actress Ako (Shogun, God Said This, Snow Falling on Cedars), this one-woman play is adapted from an English translation of Hayashi’s book by Eiko Otake (of Eiko & Koma). Ako’s performance—enhanced by evocative imagery and soundscape — offers an intimate yet universal meditation on trauma, resilience, remembrance, and the stories nations tell themselves.
This production is part of HERE HOSTS, a curated rental program that provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as a technical liaison.
