MUJOH – Rootless Transience is an encounter of the practices of Yuko Kaseki and Yasumune Morishige. Their presences improvise forms and sounds within the attempt of rootless awareness. It is the first time they are performing at Grüntaler9 together.

::::::::: Yuko Kaseki (Berlin) is Butoh dancer, performer, improviser, choreographer and teacher, based in Berlin. Solo and ensemble performances, improvisations, and collaborative works are performed throughout Europe, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Australia and the USA. These works are physical performances that incorporate Butoh, contemporary dance, object design, texts, and soundscapes. Since 2004 she performs and organizes the improvisation series “AMMO-NITE GIG” (Vol.1 – 48 and ongoing) with international performers and musicians.

::::::::: Yasumune Morishige (Tokyo) creates a very unique style of improvisation by cello. His sound inhabits a fertility in the freely yet delicate, that goes beyond any traditional method. Further Morishige combines his cello-playing with vocals and acoustic piano improvsations. His concerts are nutured by national and international musicians and Butoh dancers. In addition to his musical activities, he published „Photographs“ issued by Powershovel Books, which is a photo collection seen as a „silent“ field as if any type of sound is muted from the photos.
