Salem, We Remain, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 27 April
- 27 Apr 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
The Salem witch trials of the 17th century appear in this performance not as historical reconstruction, but as a form of resonance. The starting point is the fate of three real women, condemned and destroyed by a social order that could not tolerate deviance: a different body, a different behaviour, a different rhythm. The play explores how these forces are still at work today—how a community ...

Pina Bausch was one of the most influential dancers and choreographers of the 20th century, the creator of epoch-making productions of dance theatre, and it is perhaps no exaggeration to say that her magnus opus was the Tanztheater Wuppertal itself, which from the early 1970s on she transformed into an extremely important centre of modern dance.
Although she passed away more than fifteen ...
