PINA BAUSCH MEETS STEVEN HOLL VIA BETONBABE
SCENE FROM DIE KLAGE DER KAISERIN (THE COMPLAINT OF AN EMPRESS, 1989) COLLAGED INTO STEVEN HOLL’S STRETTO HOUSE (1991), 2012
“The hyper-stimulation of the body transforms an optically oriented space into a space where the body is slowed down in order to sharpen the contrast between the directionality of the space and the actual bodily effort to move in that direction. A vanishing point is thus transformed into a distant, slow, muffled, and earthy vanishing point.”

TANZTHEATER WUPPERTAL (Düsseldorf, Germany)
In 1973 Pina Bausch was appointed director of dance for the Wuppertal theatres and the form she developed in those early years, a mixture of dance and theatre, was wholly unfamiliar.
