Free rain: Pina Bausch's Vollmond at Sadler's Wells - in pictures. Last night Tanztheater Wuppertal completed a two-week residency at the London venue, performing a double bill of 1985's Two Cigarettes in the Dark and the 2006 work Vollmond (Full Moon), in which the late choreographer showcases an exuberant and witty side.
Here's a selection of images from the latter show. Choré Pina. Les corps dansants de Pina. Wim Wenders: Pina. Wim Wenders is arguably one of the most groundbreaking filmmakers of our era, bringing us classic meditations on life, love and identity such as Paris Texas and Wings Of Desire.
It seems entirely fitting then that it should be he who finally employs the three-dimensional film form to stunningly emotive effect, elevating it from mere spectacle to a thing of almost impossibly dynamic beauty. Pina is his absorbing elegy to his late-friend Pina Bausch – the radical and game-changing German dance choreographer who transformed contemporary dance forever with seminal works such as Cafe Muller. Featuring the troupe of dancers she mentored, whose ages span generations, the film recreates some her classic routines against backdrops as disparate as industrial estates and mountain tops in a fast-paced and supremely powerful series of vignettes.
Dazed Digital: It’s clear in this film that Pina Bausch had a profound impact on the lives of her dancers. Pina Bausch. Pina Bausch - Das hat nicht aufgehört, mein Tanzen ... Das Tanztheater der Pina Bausch. PINA BAUCH. Pina Bausch - Vidéos.
