"Koizumi" at Harvard ArtLab

1. Part chamber music, part theater, part visual art, this performance piece explores the life and work of Lafcadio Hearn, a 19th century writer. Hearn offered a literary perspective through the ghostly spirit world of Old Japan, and gave a journalistic voice to underrepresented societies around the globe. “Koizumi” features Jean Laurenz, Lafcadio Hearn’s great-grand-niece, together with MASARY studios. This 45 minute, multi-media piece weaves sound and light together to unite the dimensions of Hearn’s uncanny spirit world.

On Monday, October 28 the ArtLab will host a showing at 8:00pm, with doors opening at 7:30pm.
