JUMPERS is a theatrical investigation of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster told through the overlooked lives of contract workers cleaning the site. At its center is Astro Girl—a cartoonish, trickster narrator who disrupts the action with unreliable commentary and shifting genres. Blending documentary and absurdity, the play exposes the human cost of technological progress while questioning how disasters that are ongoing, politicized, and obscured can ever be fully represented.
