Originally premiered in 1978, Kontakthof is a seminal piece in Pina Bausch’s repertoire, created at a time when her work was beginning to receive international recognition. It is said that Pina often mused on the idea of seeing her original cast dance the piece when older. Now, 46 years later, a new encounter with Kontakthof is being created by choreographer Meryl Tankard, who was one of the main characters in 1978. Nine of the original dancers return to their roles as the production creates a poignant interaction between past and present. Kontakthof – Echoes of ‘78 integrates projections of archival footage from their performances as younger dancers, and with company members no longer on stage.

演出由上半场的2个独舞作品《皮娜的独舞1971》《礼敬先祖》和下半场的《春之祭》非洲版共同组成。作品由德国皮娜·鲍什基金会、塞内加尔非洲传统与当代舞蹈国际中心及英国萨德勒之井剧院共同制作，并得到了巴黎市立剧院、卢森堡大剧院、阿姆斯特丹荷兰节、圣珀尔滕艺术剧院、路德维希堡音乐节、马德里运河剧院、阿德莱德艺术节、斯波莱托双城艺术节等十余家文化机构的支持。 皮娜·鲍什被誉为德国“现代舞第一夫人”，是20世纪最伟大的编舞家之一，她编导的作品是所有现代舞的学习者必看的“教科书级”作品。演出中，观众不仅能看到极少上演的皮娜早期编导作品《皮娜的独舞1971》，还能看到她创作成熟期的《春之祭》。 《礼敬先祖》的作品编导杰曼·阿科尼被誉为“非洲当代舞之母”，她继承了身为约鲁巴女祭司祖母的舞蹈，并将之与西方现代舞相结合，发展出独属于自己的现代非洲舞蹈技巧。在作品《礼敬先祖》中，年已八旬的杰曼将亲自登台，观众不仅能看到西方现代舞与非洲原始主义的碰撞交融，也能看到她是如何理解与追忆先祖的。 《皮娜的独舞1971》 编舞：皮娜·鲍什 舞者：伊娃·帕吉克斯 音乐：皮埃尔·亨利 《礼敬先祖》 编舞及舞者：杰曼·阿科尼 音乐：法布里斯·布永 《春之祭》 编舞：皮娜·鲍什 音乐：伊戈尔·斯特拉文斯基 原始布景及服装设计：罗尔夫·博尔齐克 共同创作：汉斯·波普

《月满》镇在台上的大石、随风飘落的雨丝、泻满一台的银光，身穿华丽晚装的女士，水中忘形的男士，一场场欢愉畅舞，一段段黯然的关系，Pina Bausch继续以恢宏的舞台布景，绝妙的音乐氛围，展演一个个人间世的故事；两性间的情爱欲，在Pina手上，仿佛一杯苦酒，也仿佛一幕费里尼的《La dolce vita》。

一个单调、晦暗的咖啡馆空间被完全复现在舞台上，摆满了圆形的咖啡桌和椅子，后景是一个大玻璃旋转门。两个女舞者，一个在舞台深处，侧面，几乎不见，一个在前；三个身穿黑色便服的男子在桌椅间移动，有人被粗暴得分开，有人倒下，又不断被扶起来；一个红头发的女人闯入，一切都安静下来……音乐采自亨利渠幦尔的歌剧，自始至终是女声的悲伤咏叹。 　　 　　皮娜贠什基于自身在战后德国的经历创作出的这部舞蹈剧场作品，被认为是她最具自传性的作品之一，舞台布景以她父亲的咖啡馆为原形，她在那里度过大量时间，见惯了大人们在一个崩溃和疏离的社会里，疲惫的生存…… 　　 　　这部作品既包含了格卢克歌剧这种早期的舞蹈形式，又有着新的运动戏剧艺术的元素。在内容上《穆勒咖啡馆》也连接了不同的线索，它在讲述孤独和拘束时，还包含了对另一种舞蹈，另一种戏剧的探寻，这种戏剧不再是致力于描绘美丽的表象，而是要深入到感情的深处。

Wind von West /Cantata (Wind From The West) Der zweite Frühling (The Second Spring) Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite Of Spring) The slavic tribe gathers for a holiday of sacred spring. At the choice of Frenzied one of girls should be sacrificed to the god of the Sun. An elect there is a beloved of the Shepherd which not in forces it to rescue. In the Shepherd begins to boil protest against cruelty and barbarity.

翩娜作品一向结构恢宏，而代表作之一，1974年首演的《死而复生的伊菲格尼》更堪称巨构中的巨构：结合舞者、演唱家及管弦乐团现场演奏来演绎格鲁克同名歌剧，气势磅礡。由于制作庞大，难得搬演，海外演出不足十次，亮相的都是声誉甚隆的艺术节或剧院。 格鲁克改编自希腊悲剧的《死而复生的伊菲格尼》，借伊菲格尼的故事，讲述爱与救赎。翩娜保留了歌唱及现场演奏，以慑人的舞台设计，扣人心弦的舞蹈动作，流丽动人的舞蹈编排，将作品的音乐特色及情绪起伏凸显观众眼前。 Dance-opera by Christoph Willibald Gluck Text Nicolas Francois Guillard German Version (Vienna 1781) J.B.v.
