Palermo Palermo

The Pina Bausch dance piece PALERMO PALERMO from 1989, created on a trip to Palermo and in co-production with the Teatro Biondo Stabile, Palermo, and Andres Neumann International, meets Andrea Buglisi, who cultivates his very own, collage-like pop art style. Andrea Buglisi was inspired by a photo og the Berlin photographer Oliver Look. He was particularly fond of the former Pina Busch dancer Ophelia Young and the still Pina Busch dancer Tsai-Chin Yu. It is the power of their movement that is reminiscent of the pride of Sicilian women.

The Pina Bausch Gallery WUPPERTAL TANZT is a tribute to the dance choreographer Pina Bausch in the public space of the city of Wuppertal. WUPPERTAL TANZT are 10 international murals for 10 local districts - 10 dance stories, 10 countries, 10 artists, 10 views and 10 perspectives. This is a piece of internationality for every district of Wuppertal, a presentation of different cultures, captured in movement and transformed into art. WUPPERTAL TANZT explores Pina Bausch's 15 international dance co-productions and transforms them from dance art into wall art.

The street artists come from the cities of the dance co-productions: The cultural colouring of the dance art is to be reflected in the cultural colouring of the wall art.
