Yumiko Yoshioka in 100 Light Years of Solitude

Following Yumiko’s solo Before the Dawn, this is the second part of her trilogy “100 Flowers”  Inspired by Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude. To explore a state of solitude, Yumiko dances the life of a unique creature, born on a planet 100 light years away from ours. Imagining that this creature is the only one of its species on that planet, it enjoys unfolding its life until it realizes its destiny: to exist in solitude.

“Yoshioka gives us no answers during this ritual of metamorphosis. She is a master shapeshifter offering to us an opportunity to live the questions.”
