»Dancing at Dusk – A Moment with Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring«

A film by polyphem film production

In order to make Pina Bausch's creative achievement accessible to a new generation of dance professionals, the Pina Bausch Foundation shares her choreographies with international companies. This inspired a project with the École des Sables and Sadler’s Wells London, in which »The Rite of Spring« is interpreted by a specially-formed ensemble of dancers from 14 African countries. Since the result cannot be held live at the Festival until next year, 2021 brings an exclusive showing of the film »Dancing at Dusk – A Moment with Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring«: shortly before the worldwide lockdown, the dancers gathered on a remote beach in Senegal and presented the legendary choreography at sunset. 

A co-production of the Pina Bausch Foundation and the École des Sables & Sadler's Wells with the Theatre de la Ville, Paris; Les Theatres de la Ville de Luxembourg; Holland Festival, Amsterdam; Festspielhaus St. Pölten and the Ludwigsburg Festival. Funded and supported by the Federal Cultural Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Goethe-Institut and the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.
