ImPulsTanz: Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch + Terrain Boris Charmatz – CLUB AMOUR. Café Müller / Aatt enen tionon / herses, duo

Looking at recent dance history, only a handful of works are as legendary, as stylistically formative, as touching and as deeply engrained in the memory of every generation’s audiences as Pina Bausch’s Café Müller from 1978, having been performed around the world ever since. Inspired by Bausch’s memories of her father’s café, six dancers enchant and enrapture as they navigate the furnishings to music by Henry Purcell. That same year, the performance was filmed and shown on German television – a unique operation for a then-revolutionary “Tanztheater”. Now French choreographer and outstanding dancer Boris Charmatz, artistic director of Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch + Terrain Boris Charmatz – on stage himself in Vienna – merges Bausch’s iconic piece with two of his own early works from 1996 and 1997 to create CLUB AMOUR. Café Müller / Aatt enen tionon / herses. Everything revolves around love and desire in these three works that haven’t aged a bit: Purcell meets PJ Harvey, the subtle humour of Pina Bausch, her uniqueness and quiet radicalism, meet the unbridled nature of Charmatz’s Aatt enen tionon and the sensuality of naked, entwined bodies in herses (une lente introduction). A grand evening, an event.

In addition to the three-part evening, Café Müller can also be visited as an individual performance on 10, 12 and 13 July at 21:00.
