Performer and choreographer Raimund Hoghe’s work questions conceptions of difference and expectations of the dancing body, advocating inclusive views of humanity and acceptance and celebration of self and others.

Created in Paris in 2007 and co-presented with Dance Theater Workshop, Boléro Variations features the music of Ravel’s Boléro, folksongs, and the soundtrack from the TV broadcast of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean’s ice-dancing performance at the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo.

The three-night run of Boléro Variations will be followed by a single performance of Hoghe’s L’Après-midi at Danspace Project. The piece is inspired by Vaslav Nijinski’s legendary 1912 interpretation of a Stéphane Mallarmé poem, L’Après-midi d’un faune. Revisiting this piece nearly a century later, Hoghe explores the exquisite presence of the young dancer Emmanuel Eggermont in a radiant solo performance.
