I repurpose a Japanese Bon Odori dance, traditionally performed during ceremonies to honor ancestors, at the Ex Hacienda de Temixco Parque Acuatico in Temixco, Mexico. The water theme park is built on the previous site of an internment camp for Japanese and Japanese-Mexican citizens during the Second World War.
