Was tun Pina Bausch und ihre Tänzer in Wuppertal?

Pina Bausch and the dancers of her Tanztheater Wuppertal ensemble found worldwide fame in the 1970s with pieces that fused everyday elements with the artistic avant-garde. Pop songs, jazz, opera, and classical compositions form the musical background for movement sequences that are by turns absurd, by turns poetic. Filmmaker Klaus Wildenhahn observes the ensemble’s development of a new piece, combining rehearsal footage with impressions of urban Wuppertal and interviews with workers.
