Temple of Love — Affirmation, ROHM Theatre Kyoto, 2021
Nuit Blanche Kyoto / ROHM Theatre Kyoto, Japan+
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Nuit Blanche, the artist invests in Japan the Rohm Theatre in Kyoto and revisits the Temple of Love — Affirmation, originally conceived for the Museum of Modern Art in Paris during the 2020 Parisian event.
In an interplay between interior and exterior, a sound and light installation, at the entrance of the theater, combines the recitation of « decolonial mantras » with lush vegetation. Local medicinal, aromatic, exotic and edible plants are assembled according to the design of permaculture and traditional Creole gardens, respecting their balance and an animist conception of nature. In a scenic space, with original costumes of the artist decorated with Japanese accessories, a dance-performance takes place through the windows. The spirituality emanating from the mantra plants resonates with the sensuality, the vibrations and the body language of the dancers.
After an inaugural voguing performance in Paris, the Kyoto performance is singled out by its reference to butoh, a Japanese contemporary dance that expresses universal concepts and questions the dualities of human/non-human, feminine/masculine, beautiful/ugly, agony/extasy. The Temple of Love blends these universes and energies in a magical, creative and emancipating alchemy, a celebration of the living world that affirms, like Barthes, love as a value.
The performance was realized in collaboration with Daiji Meguro (choreographer and dancer), Moe Matsuki, Sho Takiguchi and Ryonosuke Endo (dancers).
