Nelken (The Carnations), at Quartz in Brest

Au Quartz, 60 Rue du Château

Nelken, iconic work by Pina Bausch created in 1982, is one of the emblematic masterpieces of dance theatre. On stage, an immense sea of carnations welcomes the performers into a world that is both poetic and moving. Everyday gestures, dance and words mingle to explore human relationships, between desire, fragility and freedom. More than forty years after its creation, Nelken continues to fascinate with the power of its images and the modernity of its writing.
