Abstract

This paper argues that Sans-titre, by the choreographer Raimund Hoghe (2009), proposes that it is through a movement of release from the static forces of cultural representation that the subject may become closer to others as humans. In other words, the subject may thus build a relationship based on ethics. The analysis draws on a subjective interpretation that unfolds according to the narrative sequence of the performance, therefore trying to free itself from the neutral (and potentially simplistic) look commonly associated with traditional academic models, while at the same time raising new critical possibilities around reception aesthetics.
