The legendary representative work "The Rite of Spring" (music by Igor Stravinsky) by Pina Bausch, a giant of dance theater who broke the boundaries between dance and theater. This must-see masterpiece for all stage fans will be performed by 35 dancers from 13 African countries.
Additionally, this Japan tour will feature two other pieces making their Japanese debut: the rare solo piece "PHILIPS 836 887 DSY" (performed by Eva Pageix), created and danced by Pina Bausch herself in the early days of her career as a choreographer, and "Homage to the Ancestors" choreographed and performed by the "Mother of African Contemporary Dance" Germaine Acogny, who had a deep friendship with Pina and worked with her through the Pina Bausch Fellowship to train the next generation of dancers.
