Hiroshima Maiden is a new theater piece playing at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn about a group of young Japanese women who were disfigured by the effects of the atomic blast in Hiroshima and disdained by Japanese society. They were later flown to New York City to undergo reconstructive surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital. The drama is told through puppetry and music and today, we welcome Robert Een, who has composed music for this compelling drama. We're also visited by journalist and Time Out New York contributor Marion Lignana Rosenberg, who reviews a new CD by Gianmaria Testa, an Italian singer and songwriter whose smoky voice and low-key delivery has been compared to that of Tom Waits. And finally, soprano Arianna Zukerman drops by; next week she appears with the Eos Orchestra to sing Schubert songs transcribed for orchestra in "Franz Schubert: Unfinished/Refinished."
