"Hommage à Dore Hoyer"

Genre:
  • Theater / Dance

A bold reimagining of dance history that creates a living archive

A leading figure in contemporary German dance and former disciple of expressionist dance pioneers Mary Wigman and Pina Bausch, Susanne Linke returns to Japan for the first time in 16 years to explore the groundbreaking work of a major influence on her career: Dore Hoyer. The solo dance “Afectos Humanos” was premiered in 1987 and recreates Hoyer’s famous 1962 work of the same name. The duets “Affekte” (1988) and “Effekte” (1991) are based on Spinoza’s “Ethics”, which was also a source material for Hoyer. Each of the three dances has its own character yet all variously explore themes of emotion. For the first time, Linke here also reconstructs her own work and passes it on to younger dancers to perform. As such, this homage to both Linke and Hoyer mediates the archive of dance history to open up new dance horizons.
