Film by Wim Wenders, 2011
Wim Wenders’s film takes the viewer on a sensuous, visually stunning journey of discovery onto the stage of the legendary ensemble and, taking the dancers with him, out of the theatre and into the city and surroundings of Wuppertal – the city that was at the heart of Pina Bausch’s creative work for more than 35 years. The film is shown in 2D.
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.
