Performer: Meryl Tankard

Completely engaging performance of Pina Bausch’s Kontakthof: Echoes of ’78 finds our reviewer disappointed with Music Music from Trajal Harrell in Lugano.

A reimagining of Pina Bausch's 1978 Kontakthof by Meryl Tankard brings together eight of the original cast members in a unique and poignant revival.

A diverse triple bill, both musically and choreographically, this has been a gamble that's paid off.

There is no specific spotlight in any of the pieces. In all three, the choreography is shared and there are no grand solos or flashy principals to steal attention.
