Скачать или смотреть Dancing through time | Returning to Pina Bausch’s Kontakthof | Dance Documentary

In 1978, Pina Bausch created Kontakthof alongside her collaborator Rolf Borzik and company, Tanztheater Wuppertal. Whilst creating it she often mused on the idea of seeing the same cast dance her iconic work when much older. In 2024, nine of the original cast reunited to create Kontakthof – Echoes of ’78, under the artistic direction of Meryl Tankard.

Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage goes behind the scenes of the fascinating process, meeting company members who danced both then and now. They talk about working with Pina, re-visiting their earlier performances and the absence of those no longer on the stage.
