Nao-Chan
An original production by Ai Horton and Mako Kodama
Based on a true story, Nao-chan follows the life’s journey of Naoko Fujita (藤田尚子), who left Japan when she was 21 (1963) years old to start a new life in North America. Her cross-continental journey is presented as a collection of letters written to her childhood friend Yoshiko, woven together with 19th/-20th-century Japanese art songs. Filled with stories of resilience and charming glimpses into the everyday lives of Naoko, her husband Takashi, and their three children, Nao-chan perfectly captures the anxieties of facing the unknown, the strength of human-spirit, and the cyclical nature of life. Featuring Ai Horton - soprano and creator; Mako Kodama - piano; and Tomoko Abo - narrator (Dolce Artist Salon Nagoya, Nagoya, JP)
