Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal - Café Müller / The Rite of Spring
Pina Bausch is one of the most influential choreographers of our time, inspiring not only a generation of choreographers, but also theatre makers, visual artists and filmmakers. This February, Bausch and her company Tanztheater Wuppertal will perform two seminal works, drawn from the early stages of Bausch's extensive repertoire.
Café Müller, created in 1978, is a profoundly personal piece and is one of only two works in which Bausch still performs. Inspired by childhood memories of watching mysterious adult relationships in her father’s café, six dancers express a range of inhibitions, frustrations and anxieties set against fragments of haunting Purcell music.

The double bill is completed by Bausch’s acclaimed 1975 work Le Sacre du Printemps, or The Rite of Spring. Ritualistic and elemental, this adaptation of Stravinsky's masterpiece sees the dancers perform on a stage covered with peat, dancing to near exhaustion.
