100 LIGHT YEARS OF SOLITUDE
By Yumiko Yoshioka
July 19
Following Yumiko’s acclaimed solo BEFORE THE DAWN, this is the second part of her trilogy.
Inspired by Garcia Marquez’s ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE, to explore a state of solitude Yumiko dances the life of a unique creature, born on a planet 100 light years away from ours. Imagining that this creature is the only one of its species on that planet, it enjoys unfolding its life until it realizes its destiny… to exist in solitude.
Yumiko says, “In my childhood, I was always fascinated by the imaginary creatures and monsters of fairy tales. Butoh, a dance of metamorphosis, helps me to explore this imaginary world, and make something invisible visible.”

Directed by and Starring Michal Roxie Johnson

Relive the untold true story of history’s first great woman ruler and her Machiavellian-like rise to power. In an epic biographical One-Woman play featuring a tour-de-force performance by actress Michal Roxie Johnson, embodying 18 distinct roles across every age, class, and gender, the work speaks to universal themes of womanhood, gender identity, and empowerment once thought lost to the sands of time…
