Mujokan 2021 

Marie-Gabrielle Rotie was commissioned by Kew Gardens to create a promenade performance through the Temperate House, taking inspiration from the surrounding plants and from the enormous handing sculpture by internationally celebrated artist  Chiharu Shiota

Butoh-informed dancers and live artists, under the artistic direction of Marie-Gabrielle Rotie performed a series of vignettes.

They embodied the flower in its stages of blooming, fragrance and decay, to underscore the transience of all existence.

​​

The work builds upon Rotie's current work investigating gardens, plant life and performance

Eeva Maria Mutka
