W!O!man MADe

DOCK 11

Production Details / Press Releases

This is a man’s world, But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing with/out…
in this man MADe world –
man made a car, a gun, a wall, a war,
and made money, to buy from other man,
vicious repetition of creating and destroying – a virtual game for adult boys.
How long will it be continued? Who is this man?
And what about the woman made world? How does it look like?
No one knows because woman had no chance to try,
or because man MADe it is his creation…

This dance performance is inspired from several female artists, who were staying truthful to their life, following the depth of inner wisdom. Through embodying the spirit of their art, experiencing their creative path of pain and cure, and searching into their secret creativity, the dance becomes a view of different perspectives that transgress the ready-MADe systems.

Yuko Kaseki seeks the vulnerability and the precariousness of one’s existence, aiming to find meaning in the moment of being together and in sharing tools for re-making a possible future.

Yuko Kaseki is director, choreographer, Butoh dancer, performance artist, improviser and teacher, based in Berlin. She teaches and performs in solo and ensemble pieces and improvisations through out 27 countries.
