Yurei (Ghosts)

View on the Pragda STREAM site

The little-known history of Japanese Mexicans, and the enduring impact of historical silence on their descendants, is portrayed through testimonies, landscapes, and choreography, questioning the formation and theatricality of individual and collective identity. When all that is left of history are vague memories, how do invisible wounds heal? Yūrei travels to different parts of Mexico, moving toward an intimate and sensory exploration of memory.
