Fond. Cinema Roma - Pina

Made with the Tannztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, Pina is Wim Wenders’ cinematic tribute to the unique and visionary art of the great German choreographer, dancer and creator of dance-theatre, who passed away in June of 2009. The director takes us on a sensual, three-dimensional and visually powerful journey, following the artists of the legendary company onstage and off, in Wuppertal, the city that for 35 years was Pina Bausch’s home and creative heart. The pieces presented – Café Müller, Le Sacre du printemps, Vollmond and Kontakthof – were chosen with Bausch, along with images and audio material from her private life, while in spring 2010 members of her company were shot in 3D as they “danced” their personal memories of the artist, of her meticulous, critical and passionate nature.
