Dear Friends,

We’d like to extend a warm welcome to Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch on the occasion of the company’s twelfth visit to BAM, its exclusive home in New York City. However, it is a bittersweet moment as we reflect on the passing of Pina Bausch (1940—2009), a great artist and friend who shaped and defined the genre of tanztheater, and whose work touched all who experienced it. While Vollmond is cause for celebration, she will be missed immensely.

With regards,

Karen Brooks Hopkins Joseph V. Melillo Harvey Lichtenstein President Executive Producer President Emeritus
