ABOUT THE PROJECT
GREETINGS FROM TANZTHEATER WUPPERTAL PINA BAUSCH – a film by NATHALIE LARQUET in honour of CATE BLANCHETT
The contribution of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, represented by Julie Anne Stanzak, who, with her incredible presence and precision, created access to the core of Pina Bausch’s work with minimal means and made it come alive in such a unique way that only such an outstanding interpreter can do, who worked personally with the great German choreographer over decades and who was sensitively filmed and staged by the French choreographer and filmmaker Nathalie Larquet. A contribution that Bettina Wagner-Bergelt, the artistic director and artistic director of the Tanztheater, had selected in honour of Cate Blanchett and which made clear the incredible richness that the art of dance can, or rather could, experience in an artistic collaboration spanning generations and the (re-)creation of a work that is and has always been about finding a language for life through dance, as if it were the only way to overcome ‘Babel’…. more about the gala at
