Flora

- a solo choreography for Alioune Diagne ( Senegal ) that is part of a series of 4 solos Flora, Lucifer, Nebula, Dew

Together with the Senegalese dancer Alioune Diagne, Kenzo dives into a cherished childhood memory in Flora. A memory of the unconditional love he received as a child from his dog Flora. It was only later that he understood that Flora also means flower. There are no words or actions for him that can describe the magic and astonishment of the significance of flowers in this world. Alioune takes you into a fragrant tribute to unconditional love.

Flora, Lucifer, Nebula, Dew: 4 solo choreographies for 4 dancers from 4 different traditional/cultural background. The inexhaustibly creative Japanese dancer and choreographer Kenzo Kusuda is a unique phenomenon in the world of dance. His performances and dance style are personal, poetic, and often breathtakingly intense. With Flora, Lucifer, Nebula, Dew, Kenzo presents a new program for which he collaborated with four completely different dancers hailing from China, India, Bolivia, and Senegal. Moved by natural phenomena and memories, he created a solo with each dancer; together, these will be presented in one full-length program.
