A touching story of two immigrant families during the Depression, And the Soul Shall Dance is an early and important landmark of Asian-American drama. Set in an Imperial Valley farming community in 1935, And the Soul Shall Dance focuses on the two Japanese-American families as they struggle to exist in their new country. The Murata family is strong and spirited despite their adversities, and they clearly love each other. Papa Murata is an optimistic man who enjoys his sake. His wife, Hana, is practical and wise. She tells their young daughter Masako: "one has to know when to bend. . .like the bamboo. When the winds blow, bamboo bends. You bend or crack." In contrast, the tormented marriage of the Okas is not as adaptable to the winds of change. Emiko, trained to dance and perform tea ceremony wearing silken kimonos, had been forced to marry the farmer Oka, leaving behind the man she loves. Their miserable, loveless marriage of ten years becomes more complicated when Oka's daughter by his first wife arrives from Japan. As Emiko withdraws into dreams of returning to Japan, Oka dotes lavishly on his daughter Kiyoko to transform her into an all-American girl. The title of this play comes from a song that provides a brief comfort for the unhappy wife. Unable to adjust, Emiko dances as if transported from the alien California desert back to her beloved Japan.
