Experience the iconic dancer of Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal
A moving and humorous dialogue between an artist and her alter-ego
“Do you want me to dance, or do you want me to talk?” This question that Cristiana Morganti asks directly to the audience reveals a lot about the unconventional setting of this solo performance. In Jessica and Me, the long-standing soloist of the iconic Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal, who appeared at the sold-out HKAF performances Window Washer (1997) and Carnations (2011), does both with irresistible charm, talent and comic flair.
With a shock of black curls, an infectious laugh and a pair of red stilettos, Morganti offers us a tantalising glimpse into her career, from her classical ballet training to her momentous meeting with dance icon Pina Bausch. This is a delightful exposé of the life of a star dancer—both on and off the stage.
Jessica and Me won Morganti the 2014 Danza & Danza prize, awarded by Italian dance critics, for best dancer and choreographer. It has been toured to more than 50 cities throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim.
