  1. INVENTOR OF A NEW ART FORM
    No, there was no hurricane that swept across the stage,
    there were just … people performing
    who moved differently then I knew
    and who moved me as I had never been moved before.
    After only a few moments I had a lump in my throat,
    and after a few minutes of unbelieving amazement
    I simply let go of my feelings
    and cried unrestrainedly.
    This had never happened to me before…
    maybe in life, sometimes in the cinema,
    but not when watching a rehearsed production,
    let alone choreography.
    This was not theatre, nor pantomime,
    nor ballet and not at all opera.
    Pina is, as you know,
    the creator of a new art.
    Dance theatre.
    - Wim Wenders
