It is said that Pina often mused on the idea of seeing her original cast dance the piece when older. Now, 45 years later, a new encounter with Kontakthof is being created by choreographer Meryl Tankard, who was one of the main characters in 1978. Nine of the original dancers return to their roles as the production creates a poignant interaction between past and present. Kontakthof – Echoes of ‘78 integrates projections of archival footage from their performances as younger dancers and with company members no longer with us on stage.Credits: Conceived and Directed by Meryl Tankard Original choreography by Pina Bausch Video Director: Meryl Tankard Video Editor: Kenny Ang Projection Designers: YeastCulture Lighting Designer: Ryan Joseph Stafford Sound Designer: David McEwan Artistic Assistant to the Director: Cristiana Morganti Artistic Collaborator: Bénédicte Billiet Rehearsal Assistant: Sophia Otto Produced by Sadlers Wells and Tanztheatre Wuppertal <img width="1350" height="900" width_o="1350" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b7e99cddf260829407a079b388e9696ebe191cdf55b449c0d6f7ac644a695583/TT2025_Berliner-Festspiele_55247_KontakthofEchoes78_c_OliverLook--2-.jpeg" data-mid="234503497" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b7e99cddf260829407a079b388e9696ebe191cdf55b449c0d6f7ac644a695583/TT2025_Berliner-Festspiele_55247_KontakthofEchoes78_c_OliverLook--2-.jpeg" /> <img width="1400" height="934" width_o="1400" height_o="934" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90df7ef6b3d1214ff09b1be80585f135e02d9020ae114e144114a902a815300a/Kontakthof-Echoes-of-78-1-scaled.jpg" data-mid="234503332" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90df7ef6b3d1214ff09b1be80585f135e02d9020ae114e144114a902a815300a/Kontakthof-Echoes-of-78-1-scaled.jpg" /> <img width="1350" height="1800" width_o="1350" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7d6448f71bbda794b6f2b53a2b7f2553488aba4cc9eab83acbd2fb1377275ca/TT2025_Berliner-Festspiele_55246_KontakthofEchoes78_c_OliverLook--1-.jpeg" data-mid="234503496" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7d6448f71bbda794b6f2b53a2b7f2553488aba4cc9eab83acbd2fb1377275ca/TT2025_Berliner-Festspiele_55246_KontakthofEchoes78_c_OliverLook--1-.jpeg" /> <img width="1400" height="1067" width_o="1400" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d3c85f25619898c6f2e28f3d44439c8c0f1ab42e82e5184f6d05f037a377c02d/KontakthofEchoes78_cUrsulaKaufmann_33A6883-scaled.jpg" data-mid="234503333" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d3c85f25619898c6f2e28f3d44439c8c0f1ab42e82e5184f6d05f037a377c02d/KontakthofEchoes78_cUrsulaKaufmann_33A6883-scaled.jpg" /> https://asmith.tv/Music-Of-Constellations Fri, 13 Jun 2025 11:36:33 +0000 Adam Smith https://asmith.tv/Music-Of-Constellations Music Of Constellations - UNESCO House By Pina Bausch / Meryl Tankard Associate Video Designer, Art Director and Animator Commissioned by YeastCulture.org Commissioned by The Art and Culture Foundation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Music of Constellations was a concert held at UNESCO House in Paris.
