Pina Bausch - Cafe Muller/The Rite of Spring
Work:: Pina Bausch (S02106852214)
Pina Bausch (who died in June 2009) was a German modern dance choreographer and a leading influence in the development of the Tanztheater style of dance.
Production:: Cafe Muller/The Rite of Spring (T1391344490)
Café Müller, created in 1978, is a profoundly personal piece and is one of only two works in which Bausch still performs. Inspired by childhood memories of watching mysterious adult relationships in her father’s café, six dancers express a range of inhibitions, frustrations and anxieties set against fragments of haunting Purcell music. The double bill is completed by Bausch’s acclaimed 1975 work
Le Sacre du Printemps, or
The Rite of Spring. Ritualistic and elemental, this adaptation of Stravinsky's masterpiece sees the dancers perform on a stage covered with peat, dancing to near exhaustion.
