when: 10 - 16 March 2025 | venue: Club Amour | Adelaide Festival | cost: 80 | address: Festival Drive,
Pina Bausch’s legendary Tanztheater Wuppertal returns to captivate Adelaide audiences after sell-out seasons of The Rite of Spring / common ground[s] in the 2022 Festival and Nelken in 2016.

Club Amour unites two icons of the dance world – Pina Bausch “high priestess of dance” (The Guardian), and Boris Charmatz, a trailblazer of French contemporary dance and the current artistic director of Tanztheater Wuppertal – for a triptych of groundbreaking works dedicated to love and desire.

Pina Bausch’s Café Müller is one of the most influential dance pieces of the 20th century. Combining the brilliance of the legendary German choreographer with the beauty of Henry Purcell’s greatest arias.

It is paired with two works from Boris Charmatz’s repertoire. Audience members will be invited to sit or stand on the stage, taking in the performances from a vantage point of their choosing. In Aatt enen tionon, his radical choreographic work from 1996, dancers are isolated over three elevated platforms, while in herses, duo two dancers are tangled closely together, their naked bodies never leaving one another. The striking choreography of all three works is expertly performed by some of the world’s best dancers from Tanztheater Wuppertal and Terrain.

A tribute to the enduring genius of Pina Bausch and the innovation of Boris Charmatz, this is a program not to be missed.
