Join this special one-time screening of a film featuring the unique and inspiring art of the great German choreographer
The Wichita Center for the Arts will be hosting a one-time screening of the Academy Award Nominated film “Pina” by Wim Wenders at WCFTA theatre on Wed., Nov 12 at 7 p.m.
“PINA” is a feature-length dance theatre film illustrating the unique and inspiring art of the great German choreographer Pina Bausch, who died in the summer of 2009.
The film takes the audience on a sensual, visually stunning journey of discovery into a new dimension: straight onto the stage with the legendary Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch ensemble, following the dancers out of the theatre into the city and the surrounding areas of Wuppertal – the place, which for 35 years was the home and center for Pina Bausch’s creativity.

He has been a member of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch dance company since 1995 and is featured in the film.
