Fires on the Plain
Setagaya-Silk (Japan)
Experience a bold theatrical adaptation of one of Japan’s most powerful
war novels: Ōoka Shōhei’s classic Fires on the Plain reimagined for the
stage. This solo performance brings to life the harrowing journey of a
soldier lost in the chaos of World War II. Through multiple roles, one
actor explores the depths of war, solitude, and human survival. Explores
themes of faith, dignity and humanity through the loneliness, hunger and
moral dilemma of the Philippine front. A visceral, intimate take on
Ooka’s classic, confronting the darkness of war with haunting clarity.
