The "voyage" with Pina at Campo Alegre, in Porto

Cristiana Morganti created the "Moving with Pina" ballad musical as a tribute to Pina Bausch. It will take to the stage at Teatro Campo Alegre today and tomorrow.

In this "danced lecture," as Cristiana Morganti defines it, the author explores her personal and artistic experiences as a soloist with the Pina Bausch Company.

Philippina "Pina" Bausch was a German dancer who went beyond the established standard in dance, blending movement, sound, and prominent stage sets that connected dance and dramatic work or theatre. Pina Bausch became an influence in the field of modern dance from the 1970s on.

"Moving with Pina" is the intimate account of "Bausch ?style". After all, "it isn't so much about the way people dance, but about the reason they do it".

Cristiana Morganti is a dancer and choreographer, who played soloist with Pina Bausch's company from 1993 to 2014. She is currently a visiting professor at the National Superior Conservatory of Music and Dance of Paris (France) and at the Silvio D'Amico National Academy of Dramatic Art in Rome (Italy).
