This week experimental ballet Masurca Fogo returns to Sadler’s Wells Theatre in Clerkenwell.
It will be performed by dance company Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.
The ballet was written by the late Pina Bausch in 1998.
It attempts to explore the topics of desire, the human need for companionship, and the social conventions that govern human interactions. Dancers breath heavily into microphones, feed watermelon to live chicken, and squeeze into tiny beach huts; all to dramatize the absurdity of social conventions.
Pina Bausch is regarded as a major influence in contemporary dance.
