Pasolini’s injunction, ‘‘Throw your body into the fray’’, gave Raimund Hoghe the strength to go on stage despite his physique which did not predestine him for a career as a dancer. A former journalist and dramaturge for Pina Bausch, he performs post-modern rituals reconnecting with their source. In this piece he has stripped down Ravel’s Boléro, restoring the element of scandal it had when first performed.
