Choreographer Pina Bausch's pioneering work is given a thrilling new life by a specially assembled company of 36 dancers from 14 African countries and performed on a peat-covered stage in a wild and poetic struggle of life, ritual, and sacrifice. It is paired with a new work, created, performed, and inspired by Germaine Acogny, founder of the Senegalese company École des Sables, and Malou Airaudo, who performed leading roles in many of Bausch's early works as a member of Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.
