About this event
The stage play "The Story of Kotaka Otsuma," which depicts the life of Kotaka Otsuma, a great educator from Sera Town, will be performed in her hometown of Sera Town. This play was launched by the "Story of Kotaka Otsuma Performance Project," formed by resident volunteers from Sera Town, with residents ranging in age from 5 to 85 participating and rehearsing together. German theater director Peter Goessner, active in the theater world, and internationally active singer ALŮMA will support the local performers and enrich the stage. It will be a valuable opportunity for us today to reflect on the passion and life of Kotaka Otsuma, who continued to learn and created places for women to study during an era when learning was not easy. This is a heartwarming, community-rooted stage production created together by performers with an 80-year age gap.
