Only the piece by Pina Bausch is still performed today. Rolf Borzik designed the original stage set. Peter Pabst adapted the set for a performance in in Athens Greece. The stage of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus was smaller than usual. He came up with the idea to use glass walls for the smaller stage. Sometimes, this set design is still used today. It is afterhours; the ghosts of the departed customers stumble blindly into walls and onto chairs but fail to find one another.
Pina Bausch wrote dance history. She not only founded the world-famous company in Wuppertal, she shaped a whole genre β dance theatre β and influenced countless other artists, choreographers and directors worldwide who credit her and her work. When she first arrived in Wuppertal in , no-one guessed she would reinvent modern dance there. She made forty-six works, and even decades after their creation they move us, stir us, touch a nerve.
