Two of Pina Bausch's early works, neither of them seen before in London, provide the double bill for this visit by her Wuppertal Dance Theatre. Cafe Muller (created 1978) is an evocation, to Purcell songs, of memories in a now empty cafe. It is one work that Bausch herself usually dances but, unwell, she was replaced by Helena Pikon, who looks amazingly similar but is less dominating. That's actually a benefit, since we can concentrate more on the other five dancers, notably Dominique Mercy - in a role he created - trying to recapture his early lover and Nazareth Panadero, disguised by a red wig, scurrying through the room in her loneliness...
