THEATRE CINEMA Dance Films Cinema Room of the Grotowski Institute, 27 Rynek-Ratusz Admission free 13 January (Thu), 6 pm Café Müller Directed and choreographed by Pina Bausch Production: Germany/France 1987 Running time: 49 minutes A recording of the production which opened in 1978. The dancers attempt to make their way through a café crammed with tables and chairs. They try to talk to each other, but the only feeling that the settng of the café evokes in them is a sense of emptiness. Their bodies, like emotionless dummies, trip over furniture and crash into walls. Yet it is this lack of emotion and the dancers’ dispassionate faces that are the most arresting. The icy-cold narrative and repeated sequences of moves add even more intensity. Pedro Almodóvar, fascinated by the work of Pina Bausch, incorporated an excerpt from Café Müller in the opening scene of Talk to Her. 20 January (Thu), 6 pm Blush Directed, written and choreographed by Wim Vandekeybus Music by David Eugene Edwards Production: Belgium 2005 Running time: 53 minutes An explosion of visual imaginary and sound that shows love in all its states from lust to shame, Blush takes us on a journey from a paradise-like Costa Rica to the darkest slums of Brussels. Against the backdrop of music by David Eugene Edwards and in dance sequences that represent mutual attraction, conflict and rejection, the actors transform into wild animals. Based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, Blush probes the unconscious, the instinctual and imagination where the body is hiding its thoughts from reason. The film is based on the theatrical production of the same title. 27 January (Thu), 6 pm The Cost of Living Directed, written and choreographed by Lloyd Newson Music by Nick Hooper, Paul Charlier, Jonathan Cooper Production: UK 2004 Running time: 35 minutes Based on the eponymous production, the film was shot on location in Cromer on the Norfolk coast: an old-fashioned and faded English seaside resort. Eddie and David are disillusioned street performers. Eddie is tough, confrontational and defends his belief in justice. David is a humble dancer who has no legs, determined not to let his disabilities or society’s prejudices get in his way. Eddie and David are looking for work, love and the meaning of life. They want to know the cost of being a true human. The Grotowski Institute hosts Studio Kalari’s regular training sessions of the Indian martial art of Kalarippayattu, led by Sankar Sivasankaran Nair and Justyn Rodziñska-Nair of Studio Kalari.
