''Pina'' is a 2011 German 3D documentary film about the contemporary dance choreographer Pina Bausch. It was directed by Wim Wenders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Berlin 2011 Contenders are Revealed )〕 The film premiered ''Out of Competition'' at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale 2011: First Competition Films )〕 During the preparation of the documentary, Pina Bausch died unexpectedly. Wenders cancelled the film production, but the other dancers of Tanztheater Wuppertal convinced him to make the film anyway. It showcases these dancers, who talk about Pina and perform some of her best-known pieces inside the Tanztheater Wuppertal and in various outdoor locations around the city of Wuppertal. ==Plot== The film presents extracts from some of the most noted dance pieces by Pina Bausch in the Tanztheater ("dance theater") style of which Bausch was a leading exponent. The extracts are from four pieces: ''Le sacre du printemps'' (''The Rite of Spring''), ''Café Müller'', ''Kontakthof,'' and ''Vollmond''. These are complemented with interviews and further dance choreographies, which were shot in and around Wuppertal, Germany; the film includes scenes showing the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, an elevated railway, and some dance sequences take place inside its carriages. In the first piece, ''Le sacre du printemps,'' (''Frühlingsopfer,'' ''The Rite of Spring'' (1975)), the dancers of the Tanztheater Wuppertal, separated into male and female groups, move about a stage covered by a thick layer of peat. The following section, ''Café Müller'' (1978), portrays a café Pina often visited when she was a child. In a simple setting consisting of some tables and chairs and doors, a small woman dressed in white is entering the café. Two more women, one of whom is obviously blind, appear. They hesitate to step further, as the tables and chairs are obstructing their way. Two men come around and try to remove these barriers. Eventually the blind woman and one of the men stand face to face. The second woman wraps her arms around the other men, but she slips. This part repeats and seems to remain in a loop. The next piece, ''Kontakthof,'' (''Kontakt'' "contact" + ''Hof'' "court, courtyard", hence "contact court, courtyard of contact") was performed multiple times for Wenders' cameras, with groups of different generations: teenagers, middle-aged dancers, and dancers over 65 (Bausch had choreographed these three variants, as ''Kontakthof – Mit Teenagern ab 14'' (2008), ''Kontakthof'' (1978), and ''Kontakthof – Mit Damen und Herren ab 65'' (2000)). The film edits these performances into one, cutting between different performers to highlight their different abilities. In the final piece, ''Vollmond,'' (2006) (''Vollmond,'' "full moon") the stage is flooded. The scenery consists of one large rock and some chairs. At the end of the film, the actors face the audience on a small path with a brown coal mining region in the background to an open end. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pina (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
