HANAKO JUNCTION

Auguste Rodin was first introduced to the Japanese dancer and actress Hanako, a featured member of Loie Fuller's dance troupe in 1906. Captivated by her beauty and strength, her dramatic renditions in scenes of dying, Rodin was thrilled to have Hanako become one of his model. A fascinating woman, she became a pawn caught between the great artist and the equally imperious Fuller. Hanako Junction weaves a turn of the century Parisian tale with another set in contemporary New York City.

The impulse to create, the possession of the art, and the possession of the artist.
