Herzstück der Ausstellung ist ein Nachbau der "Lichtburg" — jenes legendären Proberaums in einem alten Wuppertaler Kino, in dem Pina Bausch den größten Teil ihrer Stücke gemeinsam mit ihren Tänzerinnen und Tänzern entwickelt hat. Fremden wird nur selten Zutritt zu diesem intimen Raum gewährt. In der Bundeskunsthalle aber wird er zum Raum der Begegnung mit Mitgliedern des Tanztheaters, die den Besuchern Bewegungs- qualitäten und kleine Bewegungssequenzen vermitteln; Performances, Tanz-Workshops, öffentliche Proben, Gespräche, Filme und mehr lassen ihn zum lebendigen Erfahrungsraum werden.
Pina Bausch und das Tanztheater;
Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, 04.03. - 24.07.2016
