A woman drinks from a bottle and turns herself into a living fountain, spraying the water from her mouth over a man who washes himself in the flow. It's a scene from a work by Pina Bausch - one of the most challenging choreographers in the dance world today.
This weekend she brings her company to Sadler's Wells in London to perform Masurca Fogo, an unusually upbeat work set in Lisbon depicting the danger and promise of love. Accompanied by everything from Brazilian music and Portuguese fado to KD Lang and Duke Ellington, her dancers shoot along a polythene waterslide and dance dressed only in red balloons and high heels.
Claudia Hammond speaks to one of her dancers, Christiana Morgantee, and to the dance critic Ismene Brown, who explains the challenges facing anyone who dances for Pina Bausch.
