Raimund Hoghe: Pas de Deux

German-born choreographer Raimund Hoghe’s Pas de Deux with Japanese dancer Takashi Ueno offers a new, minimalist interpretation of the crowning moment of the 19th century virtuoso classical ballet — the pas de deux. Drawing from the art form’s array of gestures, the work explores duality in mirrored movements rooted in the backgrounds and cultures of both dancers. Moving together in isolation, they subtly reveal their worlds.
