The stage of "Masurca Fogo" represents choreographer Pina Bausch's aesthetic world. And what a wide world it is: The 22 dancers are drawn from far and wide, and the music ranges from Brazilian samba and Portuguese fado, to k.d. lang and Duke Ellington.
The costumes are sensuous, and female dancers revel in their femininity. In slip dresses and high heels or colorful, classic-cut swimsuits, they toss around their long hair. And, this being the cross-cultural Tanztheater Wuppertal (Wuppertal Dance Theater), they all deliver their poetic lines in Japanese.
All these elements of Bausch's protean world combine in a performance to delight her devoted following here.
