Created at a time when her standing in the world of dance was gaining full recognition, *Kontakthof* represents a pivotal chapter in the long collaboration between the German choreographer and Rolf Borzik, who designed the sets, costumes, and visual documentation for the production. It is said that, even during the creation of the original 1978 version, Pina Bausch envisioned the same group of dancers performing the work many years later, as adults. 
In 2024, this wish takes shape: Meryl Tankard reunites with some members of the original cast to bring to life a new production that interweaves projections of restored archival footage—featuring their performances as young dancers—with the physical presence of today’s performers. A moving dialogue between past and present, celebrating those still on stage and paying tribute to those who are no longer with us.
