Malou Airaudo is one of the most distinctive soloists of Pina Bausch's Wuppertal Dance Theatre where she had regular guest appearances in such productions as "Iphegenia at Taurus", "Orpheus and Eurydike", "Café Müller", "Bandoneon" and "Walzer".
Malou Airaudo began her education at the Marseille Opera school and danced with the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo and with the Contemporary Ballet Theatre of Amiens, until 1970, when she went to New York and met Pina Bausch, who engaged her in 1973 for the newly-founded Wuppertal Dance Theatre. She has been teaching contemporary dance at the Folkwang Academy since 1984.
