“…Picking fruit

for a man who is not hungry

Picking things up

Putting things back

Dreaming of water

and drinking from the sea

In the sand a woman can not continue

In the sand

             a woman falls asleep.”

​

From the poem “Picking fruit” by Miriam Oren

​

Dune is a solo Butoh piece about the feeling of loneliness and isolation, the feeling of being unappreciated and neglected, trapped in a loveless relationship
