Work: Vollmond (Full Moon)

A late Bausch classic reinterpreted by a nearly new ensemble, it remains an excellent example of her remarkable artistic dynasty that continues to astonish over 15 years after her death.

Tanztheater Wuppertal continues its tour with performances of Vollmond in Ottawa and soon Montréal.

There is nothing more fascinating than being able to see two pieces by the same choreographer a brief distance apart. This is particularly so if the choreographer is Pina Bausch. Last year, the company spoiled the London dance community with a ten-show marathon in a month-long residency at the Barbican and at Sadler's Wells, a titanic endeavour for dancers and technicians.
