Presented only in theatres
Two spectacular dance projects show how a young generation of dancers from all over the world are rediscovering Pina Bausch’s choreography: the Semperoper Ballet Company in Dresden is rehearsing Pina’s dance opera Iphigenia in Tauris, and dancers from all over Africa are rehearsing Pina’s ballet Le Sacre du Printemps at the École des Sables in Senegal. A fascinating metamorphosis: as dancers from street dance, classical ballet, and traditional and modern African dance transform Pina’s work, Pina’s choreography transforms the dancers. Pina lives.
