Abstract

As the very first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic ebbed in the United States, a new production of Pina Bausch's The Rite of Spring (1975) appeared online. Performed on Senegal's shoreline, Dancing at Dusk resituates Bausch's choreography within the beach's formative histories of racialized violence, colonialism, and white supremacy. In this context, the performance also prompts considerations of the relationships between the enduring histories of racial capitalism and the futures of choreographic economies.
