Pina Bausch’s Rite of Spring. (via fuckyeahdance)
Bausch, a German choreographer, passed away on Tuesday — only days after being diagnosed with cancer. You can read more about her in the Guardian obit:
Perhaps the archetypal Bausch piece is Nelken, created the year after her son’s birth. The stage is covered with pink carnations, through which a near-naked woman wanders, playing an accordion. It is one of the most beautiful images in the dance canon, and if there are security guards with snarling alsatians patrolling the back of the stage, Bausch never promised that everything in the garden was lovely.
