Ōta Shōgo's The Water Station
How do we maintain dignity in the face of adversity? Movement, sound, and silence paint a vivid journey of migration and the act of leaving home, not as a choice, but in desperation.
The Water Station is a film adaptation by playwright, director, and NYU Abu Dhabi professor Abhishek Majumdar of a play by Japanese playwright Ōta Shōgo, written in 1981. It is about our experience of the world and how it is shaped by what we have to leave behind, who we can leave with, and what happens when we meet others in our journeys.
