Celebrates the post-war constitution of Japan. Provides a chance to demonstrate for those who think that the constitution should be changed. And for their opposite numbers who oppose any change. Japan's American-influenced constitution contains Article 9 pledging that Japan will never go to war again. Too idealistic or a great opportunity to set an international example? Both the ruling party and main opposition party appear to favor a new constitution eliminating or loosening Article 9.

You are cordially invited to attend a presentation by the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre, on Thursday, May 17, from 6:30PM to 8:30PM, at 25 West 43rd Street, 19th Floor, between 5th & 6th Avenues, Manhattan. This presentation is part of the Asian American / Asian Research Institute’s Asian Community Block forum. Note: This talk is taking place in the evening, rather than the usual Thursday afternoon schedule.
Pan Asian Rep is the professional theatre founded to celebrate Asian American artistic expressiveness on the living stage. It became a major New York theatre presence in 1983 with the long off-Broadway run of Yellow Fever, introducing the tough Japanese private eye with a heart of gold, Sam Shikaze. The company grew out of Tisa Chang's experimental work at LaMama ETC with a core of Asian actors in such benchmark bi-lingual productions as the Peking Opera adaptation of Return of the Phoenix and the intercultural version of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Pan Asian Rep is now the largest producer of Asian American theatre with regular international and national touring and residencies. In 1992, the company began a five year plan towards institutionalization with support from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund for New Audiences Program and a 1994 Challenge Grant from The National Endowment for the Arts.
The “Asian Community Block” provides social agencies and cultural organizations with an opportunity to reach out and promote their activities to the more than one million and growing Asian population currently residing within the five boroughs of New York City, the majority of whom are unaware of the multitude of programs made available for them.
Admission is free. This talk will also be live webcasted, for those who are unable to physically attend, and available online afterwards as streaming video and audio podcast (also on iTunes).
To register for this event, please reply to events@aaari.info, or call our office at 212-869-0182.
