Schauspielhaus Wuppertal celebrates 60th anniversary

The Schauspielhaus Wuppertal is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a series of cultural events and performances. A central highlight is the lecture-performance ‘Moving with Pina’ by Cristiana Morganti at the Wuppertal Opera House. Morganti, a former soloist for Tanztheater Wuppertal, uses a combination of dance and spoken word to share personal anecdotes and reflections on her 18-year tenure working with the legendary choreographer Pina Bausch.

The anniversary celebrations include a diverse program designed for the local community. This includes a children’s project involving local daycare centers, an audio installation by American artist Bruce Nauman, and salon discussions regarding the architecture of the Graubner-Bau and the institution's transformation into the Pina Bausch Center. The program also features a reading of a speech by Heinrich Böll and various workshops and rehearsals.
