Pina Bausch/The Rite of Spring

Sadler’s Wells
6-10 November

 

 

How do you keep Pina Bausch’s work alive 13 years after her death?  This is the question behind this amazing production of her Rite of Spring.

Her son, Salomon Bausch, and collaborators, have worked with an ensemble of African dancers from a variety of different countries.  But this is no mere reconstruction.  The reworking encourages each performer to give an individual interpretation to this dance of death and the result is magnetic.  Unmissable.
