TNUA’s School of Dance is staging Pina Bausch’s classic work, “The Rite of Spring,” for its fall production in Taiwan – the first Asian reproduction authorized by the Pina Bausch Foundation.

The reproduction, a highlight of this year’s Kuandu Arts Festival, will take the dance to Taipei, Kaohsiung and Taichung for a total of nine performances running from December 2024 till January 2025.

Made possible after two years of planning by the School of Dance, the restaging of the legendary choreographer’s work will feature TNUA alumnus Yu Tsai-Chin, a dancer from Wuppertal Tanztheater, together with four other dancers who received training under Bausch.

The restaging of “The Rite of Spring” marks the international recognition of Taiwan’s higher education in dance, particularly the heights that the TNUA School of Dance has reached.

Bausch’s “The Rite of Spring” premiered in 1975, and has since become a classic in the world of dance.
