...modern dance. Having done away with formal balletic movements, she helped pioneer "dance-theater," a genre which fuses dance with bits of dialogue and song. Like real people, Bausch's dancers flirt, eat, drink, burp and fall over. Her devotees range from actress Cate Blanchett to movie director Pedro Almodóvar, who paid homage to the choreographer by opening and closing his Oscar-winning film Talk to Her with two Bausch performances. The Istanbul show is the latest in a series of pieces inspired by geographic locations that has seen Bausch and her colorful dance company Tanztheater Wuppertal visit...

They lived with their two children until one January night in 1355, when Pedro's father, King Afonso IV, fearing that Inês' Spanish brothers were plotting to usurp his throne, had Inê murdered...
...beautiful people were back. After a lackluster 2003 session of mediocre films and low celebrity wattage, this year's Cannes Film Festival atoned in substance and style. It boasted a stronger slate of movies (potent new works from Pedro Almodovar, Wong Kar-wai, Zhang Yimou and Jean-Luc Godard) and burst with star power under the brilliant Riviera sun. Waving from the red-carpeted steps of the Grand Palais were your Hankses and Diazes, your Brad Pitts and Mike Myerses--enough representatives of the rich and famous to fill a Cabala convention...
