“[Hoghe’s]
works are as smart as they are moving”
—The New York Times
Following his acclaimed U.S. debut with Crossing the
Line last year, Raimund Hoghe will present a one-night,
site-specific piece inspired by FIAF’s Le Skyroom: a personal
meditation on his relationship with New York City.
Raimund Hoghe Bio
Raimund Hoghe was born in Wuppertal and began his career
by writing portraits of outsiders and celebrities for the
German weekly newspaper Die Zeit. These were later compiled
in several books. From 1980 to 1990 he worked as dramaturge
for Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal which also became
the subject matter for two more books. Since 1989 he has
been working on his own theatre pieces for various dancers
and actors. 1992 started his collaboration with the artist
Luca Giacomo Schulte, who is till now his artistic collaborator.
In 1994 he produced his first solo for himself, Meinwärts,
which together with the subsequent Chambre séparée
(1997) and Another Dream (2000) made up a trilogy on the
twentieth century. Hoghe frequently works for television
on projects such as Der Buckel, his 1997 hour-long self
portrait for WDR (West German Radio and Television). His
books have been translated into several languages. He has
toured extensively in Europe, Japan, and Australia but
is still little known in the US. He had his first, and
long overdue, US tour in 2009, performing his ensemble
work, Boléro Variations, at Portland's TBA Festival,
the Walker Art Center, and DTW, as a co-presentation with
the Crossing the Line Festival. The tour garnered sold
out houses and critical acclaim. He lives in Düsseldorf
and has been awarded several prizes including the Deutscher
Produzentenpreis für Choreografie in 2001. Mr. Hoghe
is known for energizing and destabilizing audiences as
he questions conceptions of abnormality.
