Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch
Café Müller and The Rite of Spring Pina Bausch
With the NAC Orchestra
In the hauntingly moving Café Müller (1978) – a semi-autobiographical exploration of memory – highly charged and dramatic tension is juxtaposed against the poignant beauty of arias from Purcell’s operas. And in her masterpiece The Rite of Spring (1975), an earth covered stage sets the scene for 34 dancers who magnificently portray the barbaric ritual with gut-wrenching movements, fiercely driven by Stravinsky’s groundbreaking score.
