[This text has been translated electronically.] In order to make Pina Bausch's creative achievements accessible not only to a broad audience worldwide, but also to a new generation of dance-makers, the Pina Bausch Foundation also presents her choreographies to international companies. The result is a double evening with the École des Sables and Sadler's Wells London, in which »The Rite of Spring« is interpreted by a specially created ensemble of dancers from 14 African countries. Germaine Acogny, founder of the École des Sables, and Malou Airaudo, one of the first dancers at Tanztheater Wuppertal, will respond with the new duet »common ground[s]«.
