Combining solo theatre and archival film, Within the Silence brings life to history through the eyes of a teenage girl of Japanese descent. Understand the impact of Executive Order 9066, which imprisoned thousands of innocent Japanese Americans during World War II. Emiko is an ordinary American teenager whose life is changed forever after Japan bombs Pearl Harbor. Emiko and every member of her family is forced to find a way to prove their loyalty to a country that sees them as “the face of the enemy.

Commemorate the past and engage in post-performance conversation to explore our history with the Living Voices actor /educator.
