The Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion2024Yuki Onna is a Japanese myth. It tells the story of a mysterious woman with long black hair who appears in the cold snow and invites all the children she encounters to play with the wind. The stage is transformed into a white snowy landscape, while image evoking excerpts from the fairy tale in English, German and Japanese merge with Aya Toraiwa’s movements to create a sensual and poetic dance experience for all generations.

Yuki Onna
Madison Pomarico is an American born, Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with the interface of performance, movement, and visual languages in combination with the use of technological elements that challenge the limits of the body, and various levels of performer autonomy. Her work is driven by a sense for experiment and artistic cross-pollination between visual arts and different genres of dance, expanding our perception of tangible experience, and pushing the boundaries of expectation. She works with mediums such as video, light design, animation, sculpture, and graphic programming environments in an attempt to dissolve established modes of working digitally and materially, and invent new immersive methods in the process.
