“Showing courage and persistence, Pina Bausch’s comrades have⟳ enabled a theatre as it ideally should be: a place⟳ where human affairs are continually re-negotiated, in which things are tried out and researched, rather than known in advance and dealt with routinely. One in which dance⟳ develops models for a possible understanding and a practisable way of living together: a life together which can accommodate differing mentalities and temperaments, showing respect⟳ for the individuality of each and every one.”
