Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch

TEATRO REAL. Main Auditorium

Since 1980, Tanztheater Wuppertal has presented Café Müller (created in 1978) and The Rite of Spring (created in 1975) in a single programme. These two works by Pina Bausch seem to emerge from opposing worlds. The bareness, minimal gestures and music by Henry Purcell in Café Müller contrast with the rhythmic violence and collective force of Igor Stravinsky's score, on a stage covered in damp peat. Its mud coats the bodies and heightens the primal dimension of sacrifice.

Pina Bausch performed her role in Café Müller until shortly before her death in 2009; new generations of dancers have since taken it on.

Works by Purcell and Stravinsky.
