Image credit: Anna Wehsarg and Rainer Behr © Bo LaholaIn celebration of the 2012 London Olympic Games, Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch is in London performing ten different works inspired by places around the world, and last night’s Chile-inspired …como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si… was a polished example of the excellence of the company’s dancers and the genius of Pina Bausch. Como el musguito, like the other global works, was part of an international series of co-productions, where Bausch and her company would live in cities around the world, then make work based on their experiences.
