“The most luminous, sexy, entertaining piece Bausch made”

US Premiere

A piece by Pina Bausch
Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch

 

The company that exploded the possibilities of dance, Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal, returns to BAM for the first time in six years with a US premiere from the late visionary choreographer. Created during a residency in Brazil in 2001, Bausch refracted the landscapes, sounds, movements, and music she encountered into a color-saturated fantasy. While infused with hints of danger, there is a joyfulness here that stands out among Bausch’s oeuvre, highlighting the legendary choreographer at her most exuberant.

A virtuosic work performed with fearless abandon, Água offers all audience members—from longtime fans to curious newcomers—the pleasure of immersing themselves in Bausch’s utterly singular vision.

 

Directed and choreographed by Pina Bausch
Set and video design by Peter Pabst
Costume design by Marion Cito
Musical collaboration with Matthias Burkert and Andreas Eisenschneider
