Celebrate South King: The Living Room Theatre’s Tribute to Pina Bausch

As part of the Celebrate South King activations, The Living Room Theatre is thrilled to present a tribute to the iconic work of Pina Bausch, focusing on the Nelken Line featuring The Season’s March. This event aims to transform South King Street into a vibrant hub of community and culture, inviting movement artists and local residents to participate in a leisurely celebration of life.

The Nelken Line, originally performed by Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal, features a line of women in 1930s silk slips, performing gestures that capture the essence of each season.This performance blends whimsy and profundity, reflecting the precinct’s quirky characters and vibrant atmosphere.
