Kimi Maeda’s solo performance, Bend, tells the true story of two men incarcerated in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II: Maeda’ s father, an Asian art historian who suffered from dementia at the end of his life, and the subject of his research, Isamu Noguchi. Weaving together live feed projections of sand drawings with archival footage from the 1940s, Maeda’s performance poses important questions about how the Japanese American internment camps will be remembered.
