Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch

Two pieces choreographed by German maestro Pina Bausch in the 1980s are making their debut in the UK this summer. Bausch's company Tanztheater Wuppertal bring 'On the Mountain a Cry Was Heard', where, on a stage filled with soil, dancers move to songs by the likes of Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Henry Purcell. 'Ahnen' is set in a thorny desert on a set designed by Peter Pabst. Over her 40 years in the industry, the late Bausch created an incredible body of work and this will be a thrilling chance to see pieces created by her at the height of her dance powers.
