Pina Bausch legacy and contemporary dance productions

Overview

In Wuppertal, Germany, over 1,000 participants performed the ‘Nelken Line’, a choreography by Pina Bausch, on the B7 highway. The event, held despite heavy rain, was intended to demonstrate support for the future Pina Bausch Zentrum and the preservation of the choreographer’s legacy.

Subsequent dance productions across Europe have continued to engage with Bausch’s legacy and contemporary dance. In Greece, the National Theatre is collaborating with the Pina Bausch Foundation to present a revival of ‘Kontakthof’. Meanwhile, in Germany, the Pina Bausch Center is hosting Germaine Acogny as an artist in residence, featuring the choreography ‘BANTU’ by Gregory Maqoma.
