Sans Titre
Invitation has a significant place in Raimund Hoghe’s work. Whether it is Lorenzo de Brabandere in “Sacre – The Rite of Spring”, or Emmanuel Eggermont in “L’Après-midi”, this choreographer’s space has been populated by many people. Ever since his first solo “Meinwärts” (towards me), he has continually opened up his world to the presence of other bodies. Real or imaginary presences, voices, silhouettes passed through the filter of memory, stories conjured up by refrains, songs. The vacant stage is inhabited; the movements, the rituals that cut it into shape, lead towards a wrestling with the fragments of time.
For “Sans-titre”, Raimund Hoghe invited in Faustin Linyekula, the Congolese choreographer and dancer. For him, to invite is to arrange a space permeable to sharing. To suggest music, which – like that of Bach – will follow its own course in each person, dancer and audience member. To bring in certain objects, move them around, to build points, counterpoints and zones of friction together. To wait for an image, to undo it, let it drift; to allow the creation of a language through which two bodies, different in shape, colour and culture might meet. To state. To lead. To unfold their relationship with death, with time.
