1 week agoSweet Mambo by Pina Bausch - Sadler's Wells Theatre - Review
Legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch once famously said she was less interested in how people move than she was in what moves them. It is this idea that lies at the heart of Sweet Mambo, Bausch's beautiful, emotionally intense penultimate work, which debuted in 2008 but has taken nearly 20 years to make its debut on the London stage this week. Created in the final two years of Bausch's life, Sweet Mambo continues to build on her key recurring themes of desire, devotion, submission, power and melancholy, making it both a culmination and a continuation of her artistic legacy.
