Pina Bausch

Shot in Venice. Lisbon, Brussels, and Wuppertal we follow Pina Bausch as she talks about rehearsals, her pieces (more than 30 by now), her co-productions with other cities and countries and being on tour.
We also hear some of her dancers, the set designer Peter Pabst and costume designer Marion Cito, all of whom have been with Pina Bausch for decades, talking about working with her.

Marking the last filmed appearance of (…) Pina Bausch, the inspiring "Dancing Dreams" follows a group of Wuppertal teens as they learn Bausch's 1978 piece "Contact Zone" over the course of a year.
