It did not stop, my dancing

In 2007, Pina Bausch was awarded the Kyoto Prize. The Kyoto Prize is awarded annually by the Inamori Foundation. Internationally, it is recognized as the most important prize within the cultural field.

Pina Bausch rarely spoke about her work. However, at the award ceremony in Kyoto, Pina Bausch had to give a speech. She spoke about her work and her experiences as a dancer and choreographer in her own words. That is what makes this speech very special.
