We recommend from the age of 12 the movements created by Bauša goosebumps, longings and shivers, her dances are endlessly researchable vocabularies of the body. The productions of modern dance classics "Iphigenia in Taurida" (1974) and "Svētpavasaris" (1975) are experienced by the new generation of dancers and companies in two different cultures, climates and conditions - in Dresden and in a fishing village near Dakar. Incredible metamorphoses bubble up - the lyricism, energetic escalation and poetry of the artist flows through the organism of the multi-headed bodies, which surpasses the directness of postmodernist games. Before artists from street dance, classical ballet and traditional African dances transform Bauša's works, her own scores change the dancers and their lives. Kermenė's living paintings, which again and again dissolve into powerlessness and find bursts of energy. The ideologist and fascinating personality of the Wuppertal Dance Theater – the German dancer and choreographer Bauša (1940–2009) – has a special place in the history of cinema, highlighting Wenders' three-dimensional opus "Pine" (2011). "My girl from dreams and darkness," said Fellini, choosing her in the surreal work "And the Ship Floats" (1984) as the mysterious, blind aristocrat, or Princess Lerimia, who embodied fabulous opposites. The language of the dance reformers of the second half of the 20th century is based on an imaginative intensity, which is emphasized by the director Heinzens-Ciobs in this visually loose documentary work. As Bauša herself said: "I'm not interested in how people move, but what moves them."
