AGENDA
DOMEIN RAIMUND HOGHE
SAT 13.03.10 / 20.00
Before Raimund Hoghe became a choreographer and performer, he wrote portraits of outsiders and outcasts for Die Zeit. From 1980 to 1990 he worked as dramaturge for Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal. She encouraged him to take to the stage himself and eventually he dared to throw his body, which does not conform to traditional ideas of beauty (he is small and has a curvature of the spine) into battle. His first solo was in 1994, followed by several group creations. With Lorenzo De Brabander, who hails from Bruges, he created the Sacre - The Rite of the Spring duet but of late he has focused on solo performances again.
Typical of Raimund Hoghe's work is that he always looks for an interaction between our personal and collective memory. His work is based on (popularised and democratised) music and ballet repertoire which he gives a personal, often hypnotising and ritualistic twist. Hoghe views body and music as history and memory and in his pieces ‘time’ has a crucial role.
In 2001 Hoghe won the Deutscher Produzentenpreis für Choreography and in 2008 international dance magazine Ballettanz named Hoghe Dancer of the Year. The Concertgebouw presents one of Hoghe's group pieces and a solo, as well as an interview and a number of films.
