Dancing at Dusk
When Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring was performed at Sadler’s Wells in June, one of the theatre’s resident bats unexpectedly swooped into the performance, leaving some to wonder if it was part of the show. After all, Bausch’s masterpiece, performed on a bed of peat, isn’t short on heady atmosphere. In this film about the production, the stage is sand as we watch the company of dancers from African countries perform Bausch’s driven choreography on the beach in Senegal in 2020, just before their tour was cancelled because of Covid. Available until 11 July.
