Pina is good for you if…
- you like dancers filmed in factories, parks and on a hanging train.
- you like a film carried by music and movement.
- you want to feel what a body can say without words.
Pina is bad for you if…
- you need words and a story to stay with a film.
- you need momentum, and long dance pieces lose you.
