Tanztheater is one of the most dynamic styles of contemporary dance, incorporating a collage of music, dialogue, and stage design with dance. As a pioneer of the movement, Pina Bausch has created more than 40 works that celebrate the human experience and spirit. Through intense ethnographic research, Bausch and her company deconstruct social conventions through dance. The choreographer spent more than a year exploring India's cultural and stage traditions before translating her experience into Bamboo Blues, which does much to redefine our expectations of dance as both narrative and spectacle.
