Água

Pina Bausch

In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Brooklyn Academy of Music for the presentation of Água by Pina Bausch. 

The company that exploded the possibilities of dance, Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal, returns to BAM for the first time in six years with a US premiere from the late visionary choreographer. Created during a residency in Brazil in 2001, Bausch refracted the landscapes, sounds, movements, and music she encountered into a color-saturated fantasy. While infused with hints of danger, there is a joyfulness here that stands out among Bausch’s œuvre, highlighting the legendary choreographer at her most exuberant.

A virtuosic work performed with fearless abandon, Água offers all audience members—from longtime fans to curious newcomers—the pleasure of immersing themselves in Bausch’s utterly singular vision.
