‘Pier Paolo Pasolini wrote of throwing one’s body
into battle. These words inspired me to go on stage. I simply
do what I have to do’.
RAIMUND HOGHE
With the final part of his trilogy of choreographed personal reflections
on some 20th century events which started with Meinwarts
(LIMF 1996), one of Europe’s most remarkable performance
artists returns to the Festival. Raimund Hoghe is a dancer, choreographer,
film-maker and writer, and for ten years was dramaturg for Pina
Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal. Working with intimate material
that draws on historical events, his own life and the unique characteristics
of his body, Hoghe explores themes of love, loneliness, xenophobia
and racism.
Meticulously crafted, using ritualistic, minimal movement with
almost ceremonial rigour, its force and emotion flow through unforgettable
music that defined a decade for people across the world, opening
a rich archive of collective memories.
Text (in English) by Raimund Hoghe. Music by Mahalia Jackson,
Ella Fitzgerald, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Dalida, Peggy Lee,
Gigliola Cinquetti, Cass Elliot, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand,
Bobby Darin, Dusty Springfield, Joan Baez, Igor Stravinsky, Gustav
Mahler, Leonard Bernstein and others
‘His
work is a reminder of the cult function of theatre. Like a priest
he creates a community in collective and subjective memories.’
