- Pina Bausch is a German dance innovator who was appointed as head of the Tanztheather Wuppertal, which the term Tanztheather unites dance and theatrical methods, including dance, speaking, singing and dancing, into one and be presented on stage to reflect and change the society and humankind - During the dance, 'Bluebeard', the female protagonist, Judith, Bluebeard’s wife, has attempted to make Bluebeard show his affection towards her multiple times - In the beginning, she has attempted to fall into his arms, hoping that he would catch her. However, she has repeatedly fall eleven times onto the ground. During these elven falls, she was looking at him, but he never looked back at her. These repetitive falls signify the blind trust from Judith and Bluebeard’s inability to love - Although Judith has kept desiring affection from Bluebeard, all she got was his coldness and violence, in which mutual understanding and love did not exist between the two of them AfterThought- In my performance, I want to incorporate the fall with my first costume. During primary school, we do ‘trust-falls’ to ‘train’ trust between us and our classmates and friends. The fact that I fall at the end, shows how my trust for her is being rejected, as she was not able to catch me and let me fall
- Furthermore, I would like to show a contrast of how I transformed from Judith to Bluebeard by reversing the first costume, which I was soft and gentle like Judith at first, seeking for someone’s affection; however, after I reversed the costume, I became cold and stiff like Bluebeard
