She talks about rehearsals, her pieces (more than 30 by now), her co-productions with other cities and countries and being on tour. Some of her dancers, the set designer Peter Pabst and the costume designer Marion Cito, all of whom have been with Pina Bausch for decades, talk about working with her._Shot in Venice at the Teatro Fenice, in Lisbon and Brussels, and in Wuppertal with choreographic excerpts.
