Raimund Hoghe Pas de Deux
[Dance]
In ballet, a “pas de deux” is a climactic duet where the two principal dancers demonstrate the mastery of their art. Raimund Hoghe revisits this sequence as an essential expression of duality, sharing the stage with Takashi Ueno – a young Japanese dancer trained in butô. As dancers come together and apart, physical and cultural differences become visible, but are part of a search for a common ground.
