Giveaway: PINA

Dallas — TheaterJones and Sundance Selects are co-hosting a screening of the Pina Bausch documentary PINA, at the Studio Movie Grill Dallas (I-75 and Royal Lane) on Thursday, Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

The film, directed by Wim Wenders, recently earned an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary feature. It's filmed in 3D with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, featuring the unique and inspiring art of the great German choreographer, who died in the summer of 2009. (View the trailer below.)

A description:

Wenders takes the audience on a sensual, visually stunning journey of discovery into a new dimension: straight onto the stage with the legendary Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch ensemble, he follows the dancers out of the theatre into the city and the surrounding areas of Wuppertal—the place, which for 35 years was the home and centre for Pina Bausch's creativity.

We have 50 passes (each admits 2) to give out for the screening on Feb. 2. If you want one, email tickets@theaterjones.com with PINA in the subject line.

If you can't make this screening, the film opens in Dallas on Feb. 3 at the AMC Northpark.
