Movie director Wim Wenders made a new film in 3D about Pina Bausch and her ballet company. PINA Bausch worked in Wuppertal (my hometown), Germany. She died 2009. So this movie became a tribute to her life-long engagement.

Bravo, Frizztext, Bravo. I love Pina Bausch. She is my all time favorite choreographer. The first performance I saw of her Tantztheatre Wuppertal was “Ths Seven Deadly Sins” in NYC in 1987. Since then I have seen “Two Cigarettes in the Dark” and many others performances. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Hello: Thank you so much for this post. I loved the movie too. I am actually looking for all the ‘character-generated’ quotes (text) that appeared on screen throughout the movie, for a dance-related project I am writing. Do you know where these might be available? Thank you!

maybe one should write to the Wuppertal Dance Theater – still working I believe …

What does Pina say at the very end? “Dance dance, otherwise we are lost. Dance dance…” Can’t make out the end of that line.
This film is incredible.
