\nJapan is the only country in the world that has experienced the nuclear bomb. A leading stage director of Japan, Koichi Kimura has taken the writings, memoirs and journals of the actual victims of the bombing and created a reading play with the central theme of \u201cMother and Child\u201d
\nEver since its first production in 1985, the play has had nearly 800 performances all over Japan.
\n The words of children just before their death; the remorse of the Mother who scolded her child because he didn\u2019t eat his breakfast; the young boy who has to cremate his dead parents\u2026 The episodes are heart-wrenching at times and truly moving.
\n The play does not cry out against war, nor does it rant about being victimized. It simply weaves words of affection and bonding between the Mother and Child.
\n A young girl who has leukemia as a result of the A-bomb writes, \u201cI will live,
\n I will survive\u201d despite her suffering and dreams of a better tomorrow.
\n We want the world to hear the brave, positive messages of hope that the children had before their short lives drew to a close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
