If you don't know her, you might be hard-pressed to imagine that she represents Germany's number one export culture, and her unique "dance theatre" has influenced the world and has become one of the most important contemporary art forms.
Before her, no one created with the dance company in the way of asking questions to the dancers; before her, no one allowed the dancers to speak on the stage, and they could still use fake languages; before her, no one used classical music With pop songs, folk with pure music, Sicilian march with African or Indian drumming, string quintet with Argentine tango; before her, no one used water on stage for scenes or even waterfalls; in her Before, no one covered the entire stage with flowers; before her, no one used the repetition of a small movement of the dancer to bring the dance drama to a climax; No one before her became the idol they had been waiting for after being spat on, hair pulled, and cursed on the phone in the middle of the night; before her, no one had to constantly revise the dance drama before each performance, in order to make it even better. Perfection even kept audiences waiting outside locked theaters; no one before her could have imagined that modern dance theatre could combine so many art forms; no one before her showed the essence of life so authentically and fearlessly.
She once said that every time she performed when she was a child, she was full of fear, but she still liked to dance on stage. Even after she became a well-known choreographer, before each new dance was created, she would go through a tunnel, a tunnel of awe and fear. She treats everything equally. Everything feels, whether it's scary or wonderful. You must remain awake and sensitive during this process.
Pina's most quoted words are "I dance because I am sad.", "I don't care how people move, I care why people move". This is an extremely honest artist. Her artistic inspiration, her original form of dance theatre, her approach to working with the dance company, and her constant attempts to push boundaries are all based on 100% honesty. Face all kinds of emotions, thoughts and feelings in your heart; face the realities of truth and falsehood, good and evil, fairness and injustice, bondage and liberation, equality and trampling in the world. Watching her dance drama is by no means easy.
