help Viktor (Bausch) FAQ

Who actually created Viktor?

Pina Bausch directed and choreographed Viktor for Tanztheater Wuppertal in 1986. Viktor Golemsky is not its choreographer or central character.

Why is Rome important to Viktor?

Viktor was developed as a co-production with Rome's Teatro Argentina and drew on Bausch's research in the city. It began a long series of internationally inspired co-productions by Tanztheater Wuppertal.

Does Viktor tell a story about a father and son?

No single family plot organizes the work. It unfolds as a collage of social rituals, relationships, comic disruptions, and darker images associated with Rome, memory, ceremony, and mortality.

What kind of performance is Viktor?

It is dance theatre rather than a conventional narrative ballet. Bausch combines movement, dialogue, music, acting, and repeated everyday gestures in an episodic stage world.
