UK Premiere. One of Europe’s leading choreographers, Raimund Hoghe returns to the festival this year with a new duet for himself and Congolese choreographer and dancer, Faustin Linyekula. 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, whose 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.
