Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch: Nur Du (Only You)

A major season of works by pioneering choreographer Pina Bausch. Part of the Cultural Olympiad, the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch: World Cities 2012 season will see ten works performed over one month, each produced during a residency in a different city in the world between the years 1986 and 2009 – the year of Bausch's death. This is a UK premiere of 'Nur Du (Only You)', a piece created in Los Angeles in 1996. Like many of Bausch's works, it's long. Over three hours, in fact. But while there's little doubt she was a choreographer in need of a good editor, Bausch's works always contain some golden nuggets that are worth waiting for.
