Synopsis
The dance performance "Kontakthof" bears the signature of Pina Bausch: it deals with forms of human contact, encounters between the sexes, and the search for love and tenderness, with all its attendant anxieties, yearnings and doubts. It is a dance about feelings, which always pose a big challenge especially for young people. Teenagers from more than eleven schools in Wuppertal went on an emotional journey that lasted almost a year. Every Saturday, forty students aged between fourteen and eighteen years of age took part in rehearsals that were led by Bausch-dancers Jo-Ann Endicott and Benedicte Billiet and intensely supervised by Pina Bausch herself. Here, we follow the rehearsal process that reaches its culmination at the opening night's performance.
