Legendary choreographer Pina Bausch lives on in the sensuality, visceral intelligence, compelling imagery and emotional resonance of her works. Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch returns to perform in Israel with one of the choreographer’s most visually captivating and memorable works, Carnations<\/em> (Nelken<\/em>). Performances will take place from October 17 \u2013 23, 2019, once more opening the Israeli Opera dance season.<\/p>\n

Carnations<\/em> (Nelken<\/em> in German), takes its name from the hundreds of pink carnations that cover the stage in a set design by Peter Pabst. The musical score is eclectic and diverse, including music by Louis Armstrong,\u00a0Quincy Jones,\u00a0Sophie Tucker,\u00a0Franz Lehar,\u00a0Richard Tauber, and Gershwin’s The Man I Love. Bausch brought a revolutionary approach to dance, merging movement, music and speech to create works that are exciting, profoundly moving and thought-provoking. Carnations<\/em> is composed of different vignettes, suffused with a vivacious energy, humor and a sensitivity to the human psyche, with its dreams, fears, and longing for love. Rather than a traditional narrative arc, the connection between the different scenes is created through the feelings and associations they evoke.<\/p>\n
