Renkon means lotus root in Japanese.
It’s said you can see the future looking through the root passageways.
In many cultures, the lotus symbolizes transformation, rooted in mud, then rising through the water to bloom.
With this central metaphor, our Renkon Project uses music, dance and images to look back in history and forward into the world we are creating now.
