Pina Bausch is a legendary dancer and choreographer. Her unique creations transformed the language of dance and offer a visual experience like no other.
This revolutionary film PINA from director Wim Wenders captures the aesthetic of Pina Bausch’s greatest works in a thrilling way.
The film premiered Out of Competition at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.
During the preparation of the documentary, Pina Bausch died unexpectedly. Wenders cancelled the film production, but the other dancers of Tanztheater Wuppertal convinced him to make the film anyway. It showcases these dancers, who talk about Pina and perform some of her best-known pieces, inside the Tanztheater Wuppertal and in various outdoor locations around the city of Wuppertal.
Directed by: Wim Wenders
Choreography: Pina Bausch
