AMA-Perlentaucherin

In a mix of styles combining contemporary dance, butoh traditional Japanese music and electronic sounds, Yoriko Maeno dedicates herself to the millennia-old art of the mussel harvest in Japan. On stage, a world is created from water and the flowing movements of the AMA pearl divers that brings the audience closer to the impressive rituals, crafts, Shintoism and lifestyle of a tradition threatened by climate change.
