Dancing Pina

The Semperoper in Dresden, Germany, and the École des Sables near Dakar, Senegal: the projects of the Pina Bausch Foundation show how a young generation of dancers from all over the world is rediscovering Pina Bausch’s choreographies. Under the guidance of former dancers from her company, they study Iphigenia on Tauris and The Rite of Spring. The dancers have to experience Pina Bausch's choreographies anew with their bodies and their stories. As dancers from street dance, classical ballet, and traditional and contemporary African dance transform Pina Bausch’s work, Pina Bausch’s choreographies transform the dancers.
