Le Sacre du printemps / common ground[s]
Pina Bausch, Germaine Acogny, Malou Airaudo
The Rite of Spring by Pina Bausch, in a revival with dancers from Africa, then a duo by Germaine Acogny and Malou Airaudo in an historic dialogue between Africa and Europe.
The venture is set to be memorable. Leading the initiative are performers both past and present of the monument in choreography: a total of 36 dancers from 14 countries in Africa take on the Rite in the legendary version by Pina Bausch set to the music of Stravinsky, a pioneer masterpiece in the history of music.
Germaine Acogny, acclaimed as the mother of contemporary dance in Africa, has set up a duo with Malou Airaudo, one of the leading dancers with the Tanztheater Wuppertal.
The two great women of dance offer the audience an exchange of sensations, recollections and experiences, bound to be a great moment of artistic and human fulfilment.
