Pina Bausch (born July 27, 1940 in Solingen, † 30 June 2009 in Wuppertal) began with 14 years her stage dance and dance education degree program at the Essen Folkwang School of Music, Dance and Speech (now Folkwang University of the Arts ), among others, the choreographer Kurt Jooss. She was committed to the 1973/74 season by Artistic Director Arnold Wüstenhöfer as head of the division of the Wuppertal Opera Ballet, who held despite initial resistance to the modern dance theater to her. It developed over the years, a mix of dance and Theatre Association, the first dance with singing, mime, acrobatics and drama to a new art form. Pinas way to prepare new pieces, consisted of "issues" and "search", their aim was to "find something that needs no question." In professional circles it is considered the most important choreographer of the present. Wim Wenders was beginning his 20-year friendship with Pina Bausch fascinated by the expressiveness of their innovative dance theater, but only with the means of 3-D technology he had found a way to bring them on the big screen. When Wim Wenders, Pina Bausch's question about the joint film "And, you want to do it now, Wim?" long time with "I still do not know how, Pina," had denied seemed to him in May 2007 at the 60th International Film Festival in Cannes for "U2 3D" the brilliant idea, whereupon he Pina even called out of the theater and told her: "I now know how to do it, Pina." Was Wim Wenders not after the sudden death of the main character chance to shoot with Pina front of the camera, but in "Pina" ways were found to incorporate documentary material and two-dimensional images into the 3D project.
The former "Café Müller" in Solingen, in the vicinity Pina Bausch was growing up, she presented on stage to the music of Henry Purcell as dark room that is crowded with wooden tables and chairs. The play is about the Coming together and separate. Igor Stravinsky composed the music for "Le Sacre du Printemps" for the "Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. The ballet is about a pagan rite of spring in Russia, is sacrificed in the course of a chosen virgin in a ritual of the Spring God for reconciliation. Pina Bausch has published its own choreography in 1975. The stage is covered with peat inch thick, the dancers swirl in wild ecstasy. "Full Moon" was Pina Bausch Baden 2006, in the literal sense, water is almost non-stop as rain from the sky stage, a dark stream running through the black space, a large rock dominates the scene, and in the end, the dancers provide a major water fight. In Kontakthof "is about the search for love and affection with all the attendant fears, longings and doubts, but also the associated frustrations and aggressions. Kontakthof also designates the space of a brothel, where the body is offered for sale. On 9 December 1978, premiered the piece of dance theater Wuppertal, 25 February 2000 then the first time in a new production with amateur as "Kontakthof - With Ladies and Gentlemen over 65" lists. For A third version with young people between 14 and 18 years started Pina Bausch Wuppertal, a project for students, on 7 November 2008 as "Kontakthof - With Teenagers from 14" in Wuppertal Schauspielhaus came on stage. A documentary about the project by Anne Linsel came on 18 March 2010 under the title "Dance Dreams - Young people dance by Pina Bausch Kontakthof" in the German cinemas.
The filming of "Café Müller", "The Rite of Spring" and "full moon" were created in the fall of 2009, largely at public performances of the pieces on the stage of Wuppertal Opera House. In April 2010 the recording was followed to 'Kontakthof "in Wuppertal Schauspielhaus (this time without an audience), was shot in the following public places in Wuppertal, NRW. At known places like the Wuppertal suspension railway, the bridge or Müngstener world heritage Zollverein tell individual dancers of Dance Theater Wuppertal Pina Bausch dance of their own personal experiences in working with Pina Bausch. At the sold-out audience during performances recorded scenes a telescoping camera crane was used, with the incredibly close and dynamic images were taken to give the viewer the feeling that the dancers in the middle of the action on to stand on stage and not only as a spectator at a presentation to be present. As the perfect complement to the dance pieces on stage spectacular dance scenes as solos the dancers have been taken out of the theater space that will benefit from the depth of the 3D technology immensely. "Pina" is characterized by a steady camera work, no one here is plunged headlong into a ravine. For the technically interested reader: In "Pina" is for the 3D projection of the so-called shutter technique used in the specific for the left and right eye images are sequentially projected onto the canvas. Movie-goers who, by infrared light-controlled LCD shutter glasses, which ensure that each eye sees only intended for a picture. The process offers high color fidelity and excellent separation of the images for the left and right eye.
The fascination of "Pina" is a perfect combination of digital 3D technology and artistic content. Those without strong aversion to dance theater, and serious cinema might be, "Pina" miss no way.
