Striking contemporary dancer Yumi Yoshimoto takes the latest in her Flowers series of site-specific “Paradise” performances to a gritty industrial wharf in Kawasaki. Following a performance at a converted junior high school, Yoshimoto moves outdoors, accompanied by frequent partners, avant-garde cellist Hiromichi Sakamoto, German percussionist Kosmas Kapitza and stage installation artist Kazuhiro Ishiyama. “Paradise” in Yoshomoto’s formulation is a keyword that signifies her attempt to condense all life experiences, good and bad, into her performances.
