umuko

Dorothée Munyaneza / Cie Kadidi

A tree with vermillion-coloured flowers is at the heart of Dorothée Munyaneza’s new work. Its name is umuko, traditionally considered a healer and keeper of stories, a symbol of the resilient ties between past, present, and future, and also a memory from Munyaneza’s childhood. Together with five young Rwandese dancers, musicians, and poets, the multidisciplinary artist celebrates the creativity, audacity, and freedom of a new generation: people who carry forward the memory of a common heritage while dreaming about the future and resisting the omnipresent danger of annihilation. “umuko” is a work of joy, love, and solidarity.
