"... Für Die Kinder is not new, because Bausch has repeatedly been telling stories of mankind through metaphors and children's games. But for the first time Bausch openly and warmly acknowledges her reference to children, in her title and on the stage, and the piece develops as a hopeful dedication to humankind and its children. This optimism offers a radical departure from her prior dark and pessimistic criticisms of adults represented as children. She no longer hides behind children, pointing out her criticisms through them; rather, she celebrates the spirit, imaginative freedom, and potential of childhood. The dancer-actors no longer need to represent children representing the adult world; their challenge becomes representing children being children."
