"PINA": WENDER'S TRIBUTE TO THE LATE GERMAN CHOREOGRAPHER
7PM: Pina Bausch (1940 – 2009) was a German performer of modern dance, choreographer and teacher. With her unique style, a blend of movements, sounds and prominent stage sets, and with her elaborate cooperation with performers during the composition of a piece (a style now known as "Tanztheater"), she became a leading influence since the 1970s in the world of modern dance. For his Oscar-nominated docu PINA (2011, 103 mins, English subs) German star director Wim Wenders explores the life of Pina Bausch while we see her company perform her most notable creations where basic things like water, dirt and even gravity take on otherworldly qualities in their dancing.
