| This looks incredible -- can't wait to watch it... "On March 14, 38 dancers from across Africa were in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal, at the École des Sables, rehearsing Pina Bausch’s harrowing work “The Rite of Spring” (1975). They were to perform it in Dakar later that month, before touring to Wuppertal (the home of Bausch’s company) and London. In the morning, the dancers rehearsed. In the afternoon, they were informed that all public gatherings and performances were canceled for the foreseeable future. With enviable presence of mind, the filmmaker Florian Heinzen-Ziob, who was documenting the rehearsals, captured a final rehearsal, moved to a nearby beach at dusk. The result is “Dancing at Dusk,” which will be streamed by Sadler’s Wells, a co-producer of the canceled tour. (The film is available Wednesday through July 31 on Sadler’s Wells’ Digital Stage, for $6.50.) The setting is eerily perfect: “Rite” is normally performed on a stage covered in dirt. Here dancers move within a large square of sand on a vast beach, with a stripe of sea, and the pale blue sky, behind them. Over the course of the 35-minute piece, that sky turns slightly pink, then a shadowy purple." |

| It looks fascinating. Never seen Pina Bausch's take on the ballet. In a not completely unrelated tangent, I miss being able to go to the Nicholas Roerich Museum on the Upper West Side to see work by the original scenic designer of the ballet. |

| Extended excerpts of her The Rite of Spring are featured in the excellent Wim Wenders documentary "Pina"--even more amazing if you can view it in 3D (the dances in this film are among my favorite uses of 3D ever)(available from Criterion Collection). | |
