wrestled with human brutality, racial discrimination, and the ravages of WWII
to build work of social conscience, compassionate insight, poetic visual form,
and ultimately - of joy. Yashima reminds us what it means to be human, and
offers understanding into the complexities of cultural survival. This
production draws on his searing graphic autobiographical and luminous fictional
books including the Caldecott Honor Award-winning CROW BOY (1956) about a young
boy who learns to sing the “voices of crows” in defiance of his years of being
bullied.
This production was named one of the top 10 shows of 2016 by The Star Tribune,
who called it "elegant and uncompromising" and "an artistic tale that reminds
us why In the Heart of the Beast matters."
"The Story of Crow Boy" returns for three days only July 13 - 15. All
performances at 7:30pm. Recommended for ages 11+.
