Abstract

In the summer of 2022, Tokyo-based theatre company Kamome Machine embarked on research for a new project to address the often-ignored historical issue of the Nanjing Massacre. The Nanjing Massacre was a tragic moment in world history involving mass killings of Chinese citizens by Japanese soldiers in 1937, a few years before the Second World War witnessed by British and American journalists. Three years and four different phases later, the Company comes to Lancaster for a two-week residence to explore the embodiment of this issue from an outsider perspective with Lancaster artists, students and researchers.

The residency ended with work-in-progress performance.
