L’ombre du cerisier

Overview

"L’ombre du cerisier(Beneath the Cherry Tree's Shadow)" is a choreography by Juju Alishina. It portrays three symbolic characters in three situations. Like insects moving under a cherry tree, they live simply and harshly.

Part 1: Woman in Black
A woman in mourning lives quietly with ghosts but faces sudden chaos - bombings, escapes, confiscations, evacuations. Can she return to her peaceful daily life?
Part 2: My Small Territory
Various humans and animals defend their small territories, expressing love, protection, and escape.
Part 3: Senbu
A Japanese doll abandoned on a battlefield dances, recalling brighter, peaceful days.

This work is influenced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Performing multiple characters in a solo piece is a challenge that Juju Alishina is pursuing.
