Parle avec elle

Mar 15, 2002
Benigno, un jeune infirmier, et Marco, un écrivain d’une quarantaine d’années, se rendent, chacun de son côté, à un spectacle de Pina Bausch, Café Müller. Ils sont assis l’un à côté de l’autre. La pièce est si émouvante que Marco éclate en sanglots. Apercevant les larmes de son voisin, Benigno aimerait lui faire part de son émotion, mais il n’ose pas. Quelques mois plus tard, les deux hommes se retrouvent dans d’autres circonstances, à la clinique El Bosque, où travaille Benigno. Lydia, la petite amie de Marco, torero professionnel, est plongée dans un profond coma suite à un accident survenu lors d’une corrida. Benigno, quant à lui, est au chevet d’Alicia, une jeune danseuse également dans le coma. Lorsque Marco passe à côté de la chambre d’Alicia, Benigno, sans hésiter, s’approche de lui. C’est le début d’une grande amitié quelque peu mouvementée.

Pina

Feb 24, 2011
Pina est un film pour Pina Bausch de Wim Wenders. C'est un film dansé en 3D, porté par l’Ensemble du Tanztheater Wuppertal et l’art singulier de sa chorégraphe disparue à l’été 2009. Ses images nous convient à un voyage au cœur d'une nouvelle dimension, d’abord sur la scène de ce légendaire Ensemble, puis hors du théâtre, avec les danseurs, dans la ville de Wuppertal et ses environs - cet endroit dont Pina Bausch a fait son port d’attache durant 35 ans et où elle a puisé sa force créatrice.

Café Müller

Café Müller

May 20, 1985
Dans Café Müller, elle a travaillé sur son passé de jeune fille dans le café de ses parents en Allemagne. La fluidité du haut du corps balloté entre en collision avec des changements de tonus. La danseuse reste imperturbable par rapport à ce qui se passe autour d'elle, elle suit sa ligne tracée. Les personnages se croisent, nos souvenirs personnels interfèrent, et de la scène se dégage l'émotion intense de la solitude.

Was tun Pina Bausch und ihre Tänzer in Wuppertal?
1
Wuppertal is a drizzly, industrial city on the Rhine and one immediately wonders why Pina Bausch and her avant-garde dance troupe have settled there. A socially engaged documentarian, Wildenhahn is also perplexed by this issue and spends considerable time trying to place Bausch in a context outside of the aesthetic. Still, the dance company's daily life and the excruciating rehearsal and performance schedule is solidly captured. The film begins cleverly: a dance critic offers sagacious comments on ballet dancers finishing their careers at mid-thirty just when, according to Bausch, the "aspects of misery, suffering and fear of death should become an integral part of a dancer's spiritual and psychological make-up." Wildenhahn's camera glides over the dancers' bodies as Bausch leads them through their paces, a consummate teacher. Leaving behind rehearsals of "Bandoneón" and "Walzer," Wildenhahn then ventures out into the streets of Wuppertal searching for the dance of the common people.

Die Klage der Kaiserin
5
This first film by choreographer Pina Bausch reflects her method of working as developed with the Wuppertal Theatre of Dance during the 1973/74 season. The film does not tell a story, but is made up of various scenes put together as a collage with scenes set in different locations. The futility of human activity and the search for love make up the film's central theme set against the strains of a Silician funeral march. Filmed on location in Wuppertal, Germany, between October 1987 and April 1989.

Kontakthof - Ein Stück von Pina Bausch
1
In many ways, "Kontakthof" could be seen as the sum of Pina Bausch's choreographies: the performance takes place at a single location. The high room is completely empty and open to the public - like a showcase. The other three sides are furnished with long rows of chairs, like in a dance school. Men and women sit next to each other. Little by little they rise and all sorts of encounters ensue, some cautious and tentative, others wild and impetuous. Sometimes there is a single couple on the dance floor, sometimes the full cast of 30 dancers. Bausch created this piece with her ensemble in 1978. "Kontakthof" is one of four choreographies by Pina Bausch that the director Wim Wenders recorded in full for his film "Pina - Tanzt, tanzt, oder wir los sind" ("Pina - Dance, Dance, Otherwise We Are Lost").

Walzer

Walzer is an excerpt taken from a work by the same name. Pina Bausch premiered it in the summer of 1982 at the Carré Theatre in Amsterdam and filmed it in the autumn of the same year in the theatre of Wuppertal. When in 1986 the German radio station Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Hamburg asked for a recording, Pina Bausch selected and edited the material into the film Walzer.

AHNEN ahnen

Jan 01, 1987
While Pina Bausch was preparing her film The Plaint of the Empress in 1987, the French, British and German co-producers were waiting for a script. No script: no film. That is how the film industry saw things.The discussions dragged on but eventually the TV stations accepted the idea of shooting the film without a script. Someone had the idea of making a "test film" showing what the results of working in Pina Bausch's way could be. That's how this film was born - a documentary on the rehearsals for AHNEN, a piece she was developing at the time. For twenty five years the film stayed in the archives; today it emerges as an extraordinary document. This is how Pina Bausch and her company worked. This is how this work was created, that touched so many people continous to do so today.

Bambi-Verleihung

Nov 16, 2018
The Bambi, often called the Bambi Award and stylised as BAMBI, is a German award presented annually by Hubert Burda Media to recognize excellence in international media and television to personalities in the media, arts, culture, sports, and other fields "with vision and creativity who affected and inspired the German public that year", both domestic and foreign. First held in 1948, it is the oldest media award in Germany. The trophy is named after Felix Salten's book Bambi, A Life in the Woods and its statuettes are in the shape of the novel's titular fawn character. They were originally made of porcelain until 1958, when the organizers switched to using gold, with the casting done by the art casting workshop of Ernst Strassacker in Süßen.
