Gaia House presents 'The Comfort Woman'
In South Korea, young Minja lives a sheltered life in her remote village, unaware of the ongoing war. But her innocence is shattered when she is deceived and kidnapped by the Japanese Army during World War II, forced into unimaginable servitude. "The Comfort Woman" tells Minja's story, depicting the harrowing events inflicted upon her, and her fierce will to survive. This poignant performance depicts the resilience of Minja/women through the darkest of times, shedding light on a painful chapter of history.
The Comfort Woman is a powerful and heart-wrenching portrayal of one woman's resilience in the face of unimaginable suffering, shedding light on a dark chapter of history that demands remembrance and recognition.
