A piece for Faustin Linyekula
One of Europe's leading choreographers, Raimund Hoghe returns to Dance Umbrella festival this year and has invited Congolese choreographer and dancer Faustin Linyekula to perform with him in this new work. The title, Sans-titre, alludes to being 'without papers' or an illegal immigrant, and Hoghe's work is a poignant and quiet complaint. The minimalist set and poetic use of objects contrasts with the captivating and fluid beauty of Linyekula. His nimble and loose-limbed expression fills an otherwise sparse open space. Accompanied by the music of Bach, a path is forged through this touching and contemplative landscape, revealing a tender relationship between the two very different performers.
