Film | Eva-Elisabeth Fischer / Frieder Käsmann, 1994
Speaking to the journalist E.-E. Fischer, Pina Bausch talks about the work of the Wuppertal Dance Theatre and her concept of dance as such. What is dance? What are the artistic ideas that attend Bausch’s work as a choreographer? The film probes the question why dancing is a necessity - and not just for Pina Bausch.
The Lichtburg returns to its previous incarnation as a cinema. Documentary films made in different decades and from different perspectives look at the work of Pina Bausch and the Tanztheater Wuppertal. Among the directors are Chantal Akerman, Klaus Wildenhahn, Lee Yanor, Wim Wenders and Pina Bausch herself.
