Jooss

And this, like Jooss’s, is a dark dance about military might and weak integrity.

Pite’s “The Statement” brought Kurt Jooss’s iconic 1932 antiwar ballet “The Green Table” to mind.

Wigman died before Eiko and Koma could meet her, but before they moved to New York, in 1976, they worked in Europe with Manja Chmiel, a Wigman disciple, and came to discover the German dancers Harald Kreutzberg and Dore Hoyer, and, later, Kurt Jooss and Pina Bausch.

In the ’60s, the company staged a landmark revival of Kurt Jooss’s political masterpiece “The Green Table.”

Jooss created the dance in Germany as Hitler was rising to power, but what follows in the next six tableaus is about more than war.
