Abstract

The work analyzes the concept of truth in Pina Bausch’s dance-theater, establishing possible approximations between the authenticity that Pina chased for movement and gesture in her work and Martin Heidegger’s idea of truth as unhiddeness. In this sense, based on interviews that Pina gave all over her life, we discuss what she understood as dance, taking it in the sense of a language and its possibilities and trying to sustain the interpretation that Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater does an enlargement of certain boundaries that even in contemporary dance are conceptually rigid. These boundaries name the notions of authoring, individuality, representation and after all, language itself.
