About

Experience the poetic beauty of Okinawan heritage in a premiere that bridges worlds, blending ancient ritual with contemporary vision. In "MAJUN"—Okinawan for "together"—award-winning dancer Riko Sugama brings to life the sacred connection between nature, ancestors, and the feminine spirit through Ryukyu dance and song. Her powerful yet delicate movements reflect a tradition rooted in reverence and joy. Joining her is hammer dulcimer artist Ayane Kondo, whose transcendent tones, influenced by her training with the Prague Philharmonic, fill the space like light in a cathedral. Under the direction of visionary Makoto Inoue, whose work spans Japanese temples to Berlin’s avant-garde, "MAJUN" is a sensory journey that reawakens our connection to the Earth and to each other. Witness a haunting yet heartwarming fusion of cultures, evoking the shared human experience across time and borders. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the world through Okinawan eyes.
