Marc and Saar speak about topics related to The Piece with the Ship by Pina Bausch, such as sadness, loneliness, and how relevant these feelings currently are in our lives due to the Covid-19 crisis. Saar describes her work with the company on the restaging of the piece and her role as an ‘external eye’. Her aim is to enable the dancers to find their own story in the role and in the piece.
What is the essence of the original and what is the essence of the performers in the piece?
Together with the rehearsal directors Barbara Kaufmann, Héléna Pikon and Julie Anne Stanzak, the Israeli artist Saar Magal is helping to bring the 1993 work The Piece with the Ship back to the stage.
