ZWISCHENBLICKE von deufert&plischke

Mit Zwischenblicke lassen wir gemeinsam mit dem Künstlerduo deufert&plischke die Fenster des Schauspielhauses tanzen. Sie haben für uns Bildmotive ausgewählt, die Gemeinschaft, den Tanz und die Bewegung in die Stadt tragen. So gehen sie in einen Dialog mit den Menschen, den Passanten, die an ihnen vorbeigehen. Damit starten wir in unsere neue Zusammenarbeit mit den Künstlerzwillingen.

Orpheus & Eurydike

Zum ersten Mal arbeitet das mixed-abled POUR ENSEMBLE mit einer Oper und nähert sich mit seiner interdisziplinären Arbeitsweise dabei einem großen Mythos europäischer Kulturgeschichte an. Die Musiker*innen Gunda Gottschalk, Fabian Neubauer und Ute Völker haben für das POUR ENSEMBLE eine eigenwillige Interpretation der Gluck‘schen Musik erarbeitet.

The Project

The dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch made history: in dance, theatre and throughout the arts. Her unique work and artistic legacy enjoy the status of national cultural heritage. To keep this heritage alive, and provide new ways to access it, the Pina Bausch Centre is planned at Wuppertal’s former municipal theatre, the Schauspielhaus.

The architectural competition

The architectural competition for the new Pina Bausch Centre was announced in April 2022. It was a high-profile competition that attracted renowned national and international architecture practices, most of whom collaborated with landscape designers for their proposals.

Architectural Realisation

The Schauspielhaus, Wuppertal’s former municipal theatre, was Pina Bausch’s favourite venue. She created the majority of her works for this stage. Now protected as a historic monument, yet still highly modern in feel, five decades after the building was first opened it has been offered a new future as part of the planned Pina Bausch Centre. On the basis of the plans for its use, Wuppertal council’s facilities management has created a project sketch for the architectural realisation of the idea.
