American choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer brings HELLZAPOPPIN’: What about the bees? to Berlin's Maxim Gorki Theater as a guest performance. She has announced the work as her "last dance".
The piece combines text, dance and film clips from the 1941 Hollywood musical Hellzapoppin' and Jean Vigo's short Zero for Conduct, and reflects on America's ongoing struggle with systemic racism.
Rainer was a founding member of New York's Judson Dance Theatre, which shaped postmodern dance in the 1960s. Eight performers dance the piece, among them Pat Catterson and Emily Coates.
