Umuko

At the heart of the Rwandan choreographer Dorothée Munyaneza’s new creation stands umuko, an ancestral tree with vivid red flowers, traditionally seen as a healer and a guardian of stories. Together with five young Rwandan artists – dancers, musicians, and poets – Munyaneza celebrates the creativity, audacity, and freedom of a new generation. This generation, born after the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda, that tore the African country apart in 1994, carries the memory of a shared heritage while dreaming of the future and resisting the precariousness of everyday life. umuko is a work of joy, love, and solidarity.
