common ground[s]
by Germaine Acogny & Malou Airaudo

The Rite of Spring
by Pina Bausch
A Pina Bausch Foundation, École des Sables, & Sadler's Wells production

Bay Area Premiere

In this double-bill production, Pina Bausch's iconic The Rite of Spring, a "ferocious roar of a piece" (The Guardian), is performed by an ensemble of more than 30 dancers from 14 African countries and assembled through a collaboration with the Pina Bausch Foundation, École des Sables, and Sadler's Wells. Stravinsky's searing, ominous score takes on new meaning through visceral choreography as a "chosen one" is sacrificed.

The occasion is momentous--it is only in recent years that Bausch's pioneering work has been taught to new dancers outside of her company--and a thrilling opportunity to see her vision created anew on the Zellerbach Hall stage.

The companion piece common ground[s] is a new duet co-created and danced by two septuagenarians--Germaine Acogny, known as the "mother of African contemporary dance," and Malou Airaudo, a longtime dancer with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.
