Pina Bausch Walzer


This is stunning. I love the young woman who is madly making the men support her thrill-ride and recklessness, and the equally hysterical young woman who is afraid to do anything but scream dramatic bloody murder. And I love the way Pina makes such fun of show-offy femininity without losing any of the love for it's charm. I love the way that the little frippery of feminine movement becomes translated into dance movement. RIP Pina Bausch; you were a genius.

thus spoke Queen Zombie at 6:31 PM
