Pina Bausch is one of the most significant choreographers of the 21st century. After setting up her company in 1973, she created 42 pieces in a career spanning 36 years before her untimely death in 2009. She left behind a peerless legacy of having popularised a renewed brand of dance theatre around the world, continuing to inspire choreographers in every discipline of dance. Two Cigarettes in the Dark (1985) looks at the monotony of life, whilst in Vollmond (Full Moon) from 2006 which was featured in Wim Wenders film Pina, Bausch creates a completely unique world for the dancers on stage. The striking visuals of Bausch's productions are ever-present in these works, with long-time collaborators Peter Pabst and Marion Cito's breathtaking sets and costumes. Running time: 2hrs 35mins (inclu. one 20min interval). Contains some nudity.
