the first European festival on creativity

2011 Programme

Evento n.25

Gianfranco Capitta, Pippo Delbono

Pina’s step

Two years after the death of the great dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch, Capitta and Delbono tell of her artistic career with the help of pictures, videos, and the testimony of some who have met her personally. It is becoming increasingly evident how this great artist has influenced all forms of performance and all stage languages, as well as their public perception. Pina Bausch started out as a ballet dancer and later created the Tanztheater, a truly original experience that enabled her to investigate the pleasure and the pain of every single member of her audience. Her sensitivity has become a sort of watershed for every new kind of performance and every new form of entertainment: dance, theater and other arts were never the same again after her. With her sometimes light, sometimes violent step that crossed all disciplines, she has traveled and reflected the cities of the world.
