Pina Bausch

Pina Bausch and her Tanztheater Wuppertal captivate audiences worldwide. In her theater of experience, the dance of beautiful appearances is put on hold to finally ask what moves the dancing body and why it moves. Norbert Servos sensitively approaches the work of perhaps the most influential choreographer of our time in this monograph. In piece portraits, he describes the works of Pina Bausch and sheds light on the working methods and self-understanding of a great artist. Photographer Gert Weigelt impressively presents his perspective on the Tanztheater Wuppertal in a comprehensive visual section, capturing the emotional power and physical immediacy of the distinctive performers.
