Yuriko Kotani

Kaiju About draws on Kotani’s life as a Japanese person in London, with the challenges of living in a second language supplying a precise observational viewpoint. Her interview about trying translated material in Japan is a useful companion: some of it worked, and some changed in less predictable ways. Choose her for an attentive approach to the small details of living between contexts. This is chiefly English-language stand-up about that experience, so it should not be mistaken for a promise of a bilingual performance.
