„... rather than being in a studio, I worked in my flat,

mostly in the evening, after nightfall.

A window attended as a mirror.

In the darkness the glass reflected my movements and the space in which I was.

At the same time there was the possibility to have a look outside (...).

Perhaps these early attemps in front of the window reflect my interest in theater:

the relationship between the inner and the outer worlds,

what’s personal and what’s universal,

nearness and distance, dreams and reality,

past and present.”

Raimund Hoghe on the creation of „Meinwärts“

​

​

„H - Schritte in schwarzen Räumen“ pays tribute to one of the greats of German choreography:Raimund Hoghe.

​

Fascinated by his unique aesthetic and clarity of expression, Tortelli & Wurm enter into the black spaces Hoghe created, exploring them for themselves while always remembering him and keeping in mind this iconic perspective, which lets details speak for a whole. They follow his motto: throw your own body into the fight! Tortelli, who has been working solely as a choreographer for many years, returns to the stage – or rather, the screen – for this project. He draws on the knowledge and experience of his dancer's body, while also using the body of his dramaturg, Miria Wurm, as a quote in the film. 

The idiosyncratic sound language of AGF/poemproducer undercuts and comments on the action.
