Summary/Abstract: Jadwiga Majewska describes two dance plays by Raimund Hoghe – Swan Lake, 4 Acts dedicated to Anna Pavlova, and 36, Avenue Georges Mandel inspired by Maria Callas – shown in October 2011 at the Old Brewery in Poznań. With very precise analyses of various scenes, she tries to also indicate the characteristic attributes of Hoghe’s choreography. She notes that the artist expatiates at length about his own crippled body, “making it the basis of his distinctiveness,” composing the beginning of the play so that it is different every time, and operating the lights with equal subtlety. In conclusion, Majewska states: “All of Hoghe’s works uphold the same aesthetic, but each has its own, special mood which sets it apart.”
