SUMMARY:CRS at La Mama Moves! Dance Festival: Please Cry by Megumi Eda
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is honored to participate once again in the La Mama Moves! Dance Festival. This year we co-present the US premiere of Please Cry\, a solo dance/theatre work created and performed by Berlin-based artist Megumi Eda with original music by Reiko Yamada and lighting by Clifton Taylor. Performances take place at The Club at La Mama on April 25 and 26 at 7:30 pm and on April 27 at 3 pm on a shared program with Alexis Chartrand & Nic Gareiss. \n“One day\, I discovered a photograph revealing that my grandmother had been a military nurse for Japan during World War II. Later\, I watched a documentary about a woman who\, like her\, had served in the war\, sharing long-buried trauma. Had my grandmother endured something similar? I don’t really know…” — Megumi Eda \nPlease Cry is a deeply personal solo performance blending dance\, live video\, and music to explore intergenerational trauma\, resilience\, and the lingering impact of war. Inspired by the silence surrounding Megumi’s grandmother’s past\, the piece expresses how unspoken histories echo across generations. Through movement\, Megumi seeks to embody these inherited emotions\, giving form to what words cannot express. War’s trauma is never just history—it lingers\, passed down like an unbroken chain. \nThe 80th anniversary of the end of WWII is fast approaching. The number of people who experienced the war personally is dwindling. Their memories are passing into history. We at CRS choose to share this powerful meditation on the multigenerational traumas of war so that those who have not known war can better relate and\, hopefully\, choose to stand for peace. \nThe Club\n74 East 4th Street\, 2nd floor\nNew York\, NY 10003 \nTickets:\nAdults: $30\nStudents/Seniors: $25\nFirst 10 tickets are $10 (limit 2 per person)\nTicket link: https://www.lamama.org/chartrand-gareiss-megumi-eda/ \nThe premiere of Please Cry in 2022 was co-produced by Megumi Eda and DOCK ART\, funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe\, and supported by Tir Danza. https://www.tirdanza.it/megumi-eda/ The NY production is made possible by a travel grant from CRS. \n“Beautiful ballerinas are often caught in their own beauty. They definitely don’t know how to mug. But Megumi can morph in a flash from small boy to impossibly regal diva to a small squirrel chewing on a nut.” — Laurie Anderson \nMegumi Eda is a dancer and filmmaker creating multimedia works at the intersection of theater\, dance\, and film. She began her career at 17 with the Hamburg Ballet\, later joining the Dutch National Ballet and Rambert Dance Company. In 2004\, she moved to New York as a founding member of Armitage Gone! Dance\, collaborating on over a dozen new works and winning the Bessie Award that year. Her long-term collaboration with Yoshiko Chuma has led to innovative performance projects. Now based in Berlin\, she focuses on exploring Multi-Generational War Trauma\, Women’s Rights\, and Institutional Abuse in the Dance World through works like fish άɪ lens (2025)\, Please Cry (2022)\, and DIVINE (2023) with Yuko Kaseki. \nhttps://megumieda.com \nLa MaMa Moves! Dance Festival continues to support La MaMa’s commitment to presenting diverse performance styles that challenge audience’s perception of dance by featuring performance/installations\, experimental film screenings & public symposiums which address dance artists’ engagement with the current political climate\, as well as honoring diasporic histories and legacy\, ancestral inspirations and inter-generational dialogue. \nhttps://www.lamama.org/la-mama-moves-2025/ \n
