Description Out of Context is a dance dedication to the late and great German choreographer Pina Bausch, who helped redefine and liberate contemporary movement and presided at the birth of Dance Theatre, as well as being Platel's friend and great inspiration. Director Alain Platel aims to return to the very fundamentals of dance: the human body. Out of Context starts from a belief that the human body is the foremost emotional tool, a carrier of memories, and raw material for living fine art.
