"A comprehensive and absolutely worth reading book." Jan Kuhlbrodt, Signaturen, 9 (2020) "[The reading] is only surpassed by one thing: the visit of a dance evening by Pina Bausch." Thomas Rothschild, Kultura-Extra, 31.07.2020, translated from German "Gabriele Klein [...] offers a fantastic wealth of information, she brings out the characteristic aspects of artistic creation and embeds the pieces in their respective historical, social and political time context." Karen Nölle, TraLaLit, 29.07.2020, translated from German "There are no many detailed works about one of the most famous dance companies in the world. The book offers new perspectives on the working process, the members and the reception of Tanztheater Wuppertal and the work of Pina Bausch." Michael Lausberg, www.scharf-links.de, 08.07.2020, translated from German "This book is designed to be a good introduction to Bausch's cosmos for all those interested in culture, while still containing sections that provide informative nourishment for even the most cunning specialists." Helmut Ploebst, Der Standard, 27.03.2020, translated from German "An informative and personal as well socially relevant reading pleasure, not only for a specialist audience, but for a broad readership." Miriam Althammer, www.tanznetz.de, 26.02.2020, translated from German "Klein [embeds] the artistic creation and work of the entire ensemble in complex cultural, sociological, but also intertextual contexts. The result makes a decisive contribution to being able to view the long-term impact of the artist in a new light ten years after her death." Rico Stehfest, tanz, 1 (2020), translated from German "A work [...] which represents the character of a standard work on the legend and the phenomenon of Pina Bausch and which refutes, supports and documents many of the previous second-hand publications [...]." Peter Dahms, Tanzinfo Berlin, 07.10.2019, translated from German
