Sadako Sasaki is a model of “Children’s Peace Monument” a statue located in Hiroshima, Japan and is in dedication of the young girl who died of leukemia from radiation of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She has folded 1,000 paper cranes for peace when she died at 12.
“Peace on Your Wings” is an original musical inspired by the life of Sadako Sasaki which juxtaposes her story and the events leading up to her death in November 1955 with a fictional story about a group of her friends who rallied support from around Japan to have a monument built in Sadako’s memory to honor the children victims of the atomic bomb.
Please come to 22nd Honolulu Festival, and see special select musicals from Peace On Your Wings. Admission is free.
