THEATRE CINEMA  
                      
Pina Bausch
Cinema Room, 27 Rynek-Ratusz
 


To mark the second anniversary of Pina Bausch’s death, join us for a programme of film screenings dedicated to the work of this exceptional artist. In May we will show a recording of Orpheus and Eurydice, a ballet-opera directed and choreographed by Pina Bausch, and two documentaries, One Day Pina Asked Me and Pina Bausch. The directors of these documentaries accompanied Pina’s ensamble both in Wuppertal and on tours in many parts of the world. The films include excerpts from performances and rehearsals from different periods of the ensemble’s work, and, above all, interviews with the Tanztheater’s actors and Pina Bausch.
In June we will screen the documentary In Search of Dance, followed by Probe sacre, a recording of a rehearsal of The Rite of Spring, during which Pina Bausch, in her unique way, demonstrates choreography, and a recording of this performance which was a breakthrough moment in Pina Bausch’s career. Concluding the programme will be lectures by Pina Bausch researchers, Anna Królica and Aleksandra Dziurosz.
