Ein Stück mit Tanz (A piece with Dance)
Sixteen creative individuals aged between 26 and 79 from Wuppertal and the surrounding area are working with Rainer Behr to develop ‘A Piece with Dance’.
The performances will take place from March 12 to 15, 2026 at the former Schauspielhaus/future Pina Bausch Centre and Tickets will be available on our website and at Kulturkarte from February 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. .
An empty room, and people in it. Searching for a language for what moves us. Searching for questions and tasks, looking inward and gathering. What we find should become visible. We become seekers who dance. Sometimes dance is the answer to our speechlessness, in a time that drives us apart, in which we no longer understand each other and find ourselves in the Tower of Babel. It is about mixing, connecting and what feels so clear within us but cannot be put into words.
