Last week during our discussion, I mention the name of Pina Bausch, a German Postmodern choreographer.

She was an important persona of dance, because she combined dance and theatre in a new art form which is called Dancetheater (or in german tanzthetater). Tanztheater is not dance, not theatre but an art form that takes advantage of the whole human body, of what a body can do, like dance, speech and chanting. Pina Bausch crossed the boundaries between love song, film, ballet, revue, circus and social dance.
Her work do not to tell specific stories, but it expresses the human condition, it talks about psychological and sociological compulsion and constraints as love and angst, how people try to deal with them, the tension between the sexes, the struggle for self-identity… Her work implies political and social critique…

If you ever have the chance to see her work, don’t miss it!!!
