NYU Skirball presents the Queer New York International Arts Festival, featuring works from a diverse group of international artists, running February 7-17, 2024, at NYU Skirball. The festival, returning to New York after a six-year hiatus, questions traditional definitions and the understanding of queerness in artistic practice in concept and/or form. The 2024 festival features artists from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, and Germany whose works explore a range of contemporary issues related to queer identity and marginalization, opening up topics such as sex work, migration, Indigenous rights, political prosecution, and the new conservatism. QNYIAF, curated and produced by Zvonimir Dobrović (founder and artistic director of Queer Zagreb and Perforations festivals in Croatia), will include performances, a video installation/exhibition, and a series of public talks with artists and curators.

Raimund Hoghe Company (Germany)
An Evening With Raimund                             
Dance                 

Raimund Hoghe Company members Emmanuel Eggermont and Luca Giacomo Schulte have created an evening of works by the late German choreographer Raimund Hoghe in a tribute performed by his dancers. In this ephemeral performance, danced fragments chosen from Hoghe’s repertoire revive the wave of humanity and poetry that Hoghe was able to delicately place on each of his dancers and spectators. This performance gathers seven dancers who perform some of their most memorable parts from almost two decades of dance pieces with which Raimund Hoghe and his company performed all over the world. 

German choreographer Raimund Hoghe (1949-2021) began his career as a journalist, writing portraits of outsiders and celebrities for the German weekly newspaper "Die Zeit." These were later compiled in several books. From 1980 to 1989 he worked as dramaturge for Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal and since 1989 he started working on his own theatre pieces for various dancers and actors. His performances have been presented all over Europe, as well as in North and South America, Asia and Australia. During his long career, Raimund received numerous awards and has published books in Germany, France, the UK, and the USA. Hoghe died in 2021 in Dusseldorf.

Tickets start at $25, and can be purchased online, by visiting the box office in person, Tuesday – Saturday from 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm, or by calling 212.998.4941.
