  • Performatively, she also fullfills the crowd's want for a scapegoat AND stills its lust for sensation. If you find this distateful, well...we humans don't always behave very nicely. How else would you explain wars, mobbing phenomena, peer pressure etc? (And sorry for any typos too, btw)

  • IMO, Pina Bausch excellently manages to portray the essence of the Rite of Spring - it is about a girl that is being offered to the Gods because her people have decided so. She sacrifices herself through dancing. The existence of Gods in this particular play doesn't even matter, because what the thing that makes her sacrifice herself are the people ogling and pushing her, and all of them being glad that she is the one who has to do the dirty job, not them.

  • @Dino3070 I'm not an expert concerning either Stravinsky's or Pina Bausch's work, so this is really just my opinion. Still, consider this: The usual thing I know Ballet producers go for when performing the Rite of Spring and in particular this part is that weird lots-of-wiggly-dancers-in-slic­k-bodysuits-wiggle-like-cells-­that-are-about-to-multiply. All of the dancers do pretty much the same. And in the end - surprise, surprise - you have one more cell of some sorts.

  • i love Stravinsky so much but i dont understand what is this fuckin sekta-bitches..pffffff

  • I wish Wim Wenders had included this in his recent excellent 3D movie "Pina". Parts of "Le Sacre" are included, but not this.

  • Ohhhh yeeeaaah
