Description: A translation of Raimund Hoghe's original rehearsal diary that documented the Tanztheater Wuppertal's work on Bandoneon (1981), illustrated with photos of the production by Ulli Weiss, and personal images and notes from the dancers. This unique writing records the method Pina Bausch developed and used as seen by one of her close collaborators, Raimund Hoghe, who worked as dramaturg for the company for a decade (1979 1989). It follows the work from the first day in rehearsals to its premiere, chronicling the process with artistic sensibility Bausch's famous questions, the dancers responses and Hoghe's own reflections as the piece develops.
