SPRING: Rapeflower
Embodied Resilience: Jiutamai Dance Confronts Trauma’s Silence
RAPEFLOWER is a dance performance by Hana Umeda that delves into the embodied experience of rape and its enduring trauma. Drawing on the classical Japanese jiutamai dance tradition—historically performed by women who often faced violence—Umeda weaves personal, inherited and collective memories of sexual assault into movement, confronting silence and taboos to create a space for reflection and potential healing on stage.
