The Honvéd Dance Theatre and the National Dance Theatre launch a new

series entitled Folklore Calendar. It is the avowed intention of the series to give the audience, primarily the 10–18 age group, a more complete and livelier pic-ture of our passing and declining tradi-tions, of our illustrious folk customs.

We will also introduce the tradi-tional dances, songs, costumes, lan-guages and national customs of the multi-ethnic people of our country. Together with a close similarity related to calendar holidays, almost each eth-

nic group has tried to preserve their own characteristic features. The mes-sage of this lost world for us could be that, although these people living side by side for centuries have preserved the differences of their customs, they have always lived together in peace, respecting each other, accepting each other’s culture.

The first part of the series entitled Dancing Spring is the spring festivals, embracing the period beginning from the end of the carnival season right up to the end of May.

Performed by the Honvéd Dance Theatre and its Orchestra and the Söndörgő Ensemble · Script: Zsuzsa Vincze

Assistants: János Appelshoff er, Flórián Hajdú, Gergő Sánta, Attila Tompa, Gábor Valach, István Zámbó and Sue Foy guest artist

The Compagnie Pál Frenák performed their composition entitled Milan in

2006. The twin piece of the duality that can be made infi nite of the human-sized marionette fi gure, and the fl esh and blood being increasingly retreat-ing into his own shell comes to life in the 2009 Twins.

Twins speaks of the deeper strata of twin existence, producing sensual arguments from the treasury of the subconscious. It carries signs and symptoms instead of analysis, an emo-tional delirium from the age of unity, before the siblings would have met the brave-new-digitalised world. They

circle as twin stars in the peeling or-bits of space, until they live through the paradox of twins in their relation-ship believed to be inseparable: the monozygotic unity is all for nothing, the great journey after birth is asyn-chronistic for them, where they have to find the unity of their own inde-pendent personality.

The creator is not looking for final solutions. But he believes that facing the irresolvable is but the beginning of the process. Twins is a special journey full of game, trauma and recognition in the mysterious co-ordinate system of ‘I, you, we and they’.

World champions in show dance formation and European cham-

pions in visual dance formation, Bota-fogo Dance Ensemble had a great idea and attempted the impossible: to dance a game of chess. The com-plications begin in the two-act dance drama when the Dark King falls in love with the Light Queen. From here on the events rush unstoppably towards their destiny – or don’t they? Can the chess player interfere with the private lives of the chess pieces, is a restart possible, is it possible to break out from the strict rules? Are the infinite

combinations of moves just a theory, or can mathematical equations come to life? Dozens of performances to full houses prove that creative imagina-tion overcomes every obstacle.

The ensemble escorts the audience on a special journey into the world of the officers and pawns, where the special, unique dance language of the ensemble creates a common space between man and man, where it is re-vealed how narrow the boundary is be-tween peace and war, where life itself is just a big game of chess: war, strife, love, intrigue and, of course a game.

Chopin is one of the greatest poets in the world of music. He is capa-

ble of expressing dramas in only a few bars. His work with Franz Liszt in Paris was based on mainly improvisation. Proceeding from this, original music and their transcriptions will alternate during the play. The power of improvi-sation diminishes, therefore it’s hard to recall it and write it down. This pure musicality and poetry is what really catches someone – because the artist is who transmits his/her intuition.

György Vukán

We’ve already created two success-ful plays with György Vukán (Jazz-sekt, Rhapsody in Blue). The harmony of live music and dance is such a special expe-rience in a theatre. So this is why we’ve come up with the idea to create a per-formance that can present Europe-wide this special philosophy of live music and the art of dance. The music of Chopin expressed through György Vukán’s vir-tuoso improvisation allows us dancers to remount ourselves to our roots when music and dance were born out of in-separable human instincts.

The characters, the story, the topics and the message of the deservedly

world-famous piece, talk of eternal hu-man characteristics.

The positive features of the main char-acter, Phileas Fogg, such as humanism, honesty, word of honour and a healthy spirit of competition, are human char-acteristics that our children and young people should be taught every day. During the trip around the world the piece introduces diff erent cultures, life situations and a variety of dances in our interpretation to the audience. Dance is an excellent form of expression; the movements clearly illustrate universal emotions and messages. The non-verbal language of dance helps to introduce the diversity of the world, cultural char-acteristics and common human values.

At the end of the tale, just as it should be, goodness prevails. It tran-spires that the aim is the journey itself and from all the options love is victori-ous, which our hero finds in the person of an Indian princess.

And all things change them to the contrary if all that should happen cannot happen… Gigantic energy is born despite the pro-hibitions, which no sensible explanation can support, and which will eventually sweep away everything, the prohibitive and the prohibition breaker alike. The love of the young ones is surrounded by a medium which carries resistance and insults rather than encouragement and contact.

A fl ourishing and all conquering love is constrained, but Romeo and Juliet sense their desire for each other as complete. The harmony springing from their love causes resistance in their environment from the very fi rst moment, and still this harmless belonging together paralyses two worlds straining against each other.

Does anyone know, can it be named or put into words how light and shadow embrace themselves? Can the moment when love is born be caught?

The Hungarian Dance Academy's Folk Dancing students may be the most

versatile group in Hungarian dance. These performers are in year four of the folk dancing course, which lasts fi ve years during which the students get to learn about many dance languages be-sides Hungarian folk dancing, including the dances of the minorities living with us. The course also includes classical ballet, modern dance, as well as historic dances and modern ballroom dances.

Hungarian folk dancing is still alive today in its near authentic form. It is a

living testament to Hungarian values and traditions. Fortunately, it is still practised by a large number of enthusi-astic young people today. Some dance on the stage, while more people enjoy dancing in dance houses, clubs and in amateur groups.

The programme includes contem-porary choreographies based on folk dance with elements of dance theatre. This goes to further prove that folk danc-ing is like the mother tongue. It consists of building blocks which are able to ex-press all modern thoughts and feelings.

The latest children’s dance theatre performance by the Yvette Bozsik

Company opens in the National Dance Theatre. Thanks to its topic, storytelling style, and visual presen-tation, it is sure to please the whole family, from little children to adoles-cents, and adults. This collection of Arab tales was compiled in the 12th century, and contains some marvel-

lous classics. The dance performance is based on five tales: Aladdin and His Magic Lamp, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, King Shahriar and Schehere-zade, The Ebony Horse and The Fisher-man and the Jinni. The show tells the tales through a combination of dance and film, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Schehere-zade, and contemporary oriental and ethnic music.

Is it an ancient tradition, or a modern branch of art? Is it a contemporary gen-

re, perhaps a popular entertaining dance or a ballad in song? Does it bring emo-tions or stories to life? Which peoples have shaped or continue to shape its cul-ture? Is it ritual Spanish folklore or a con-stantly changing mode of performance?

Does it have a strict order, or is it an im-provisational technique? Who created it, how did it develop? Does it show the virtuoso rhythms of Europe or the Ori-ent? Those who discover “the harmony of contrasts” in fl amenco will receive all the answers to these questions, in an un-conventional dance performance.

The second part of the series encom-passes the customs of the winter fes-tivities; the period from harvest time to the end of the carnival season, with the title Winter Dance. In the programme of the performance the audience can see traditional nativity plays, folk recit-als, fertility charms festival on St. Lucy’s Day and, along with diff erent traditions of the spinning room, some theatrical adaptations of superstitious customs related to the winter festivities

“To inquire after the meaning or object of one's own existence or that of all crea-tures has always seemed absurd from an objective point of view.” (Einstein)

Are our bodies, through our motions, capable of answering deep philosophi-cal questions, as well as depicting emo-tions, human relationships, intensity and dynamics? In this ballet we have at-tempted to realize this double task, and we present each choreography in two interpretations. Once by itself, without any external tools or controlled con-tent, only by watching the movements of the dancers and their relationships with each other. For the second time the dancers impersonate certain con-cepts, thus giving the choreography a completely diff erent content, and the previously seen motions receive a more concrete meaning. It is not a philosophy of life, a world view or ide-ologies that we want to outline, since philosophy itself is diff erent from these. We merely refl ect upon arising issues

and problems with our own tools, in a cheerful atmosphere, still leaving our audience the opportunity for their own interpretation and free association.

Once upon a time there was a boy called Johnny, who had enough

of the wickedness of his two brothers and so set out to find his fortune.

So begins the tale of the good Fairy with the help of whom you can meet up with the funny Golden Goose, the 12 Dancing Princesses and many other

fairy tale characters. The Honvéd Dance Theatre – following on from their highly successful Sleeping Beauty ballet – once again delves into Story-land, – where children can get to know the gems of folk culture to the accom-paniment of much dance and music.

The special occasion which makes it pos-sible for a creative crew to stage two

one-act pieces off ers a special opportu-nity to juxtapose the two pieces as well as extracting their contiguous concept.

Both pieces present the eternal, se-cret-dense struggle in the relationship between man and woman, seeking the basic truths of our human existence through it. Walking the paths of the soul the author is connected to the everyday events of his age. The turbulent social changes of the 20th century, the wild fury endangering hundreds of thousands of lives of the dark forces released from the

depths of the soul are inseparable from the basic idea of the pieces.

It aims to present Bartók’s life-affi rm-ing truth and his belief in the purifi ca-tion and elevation of the soul despite these conditions.

Creators of stage performances in the 21st century can have no other aim either than to remain faithful to the creative purpose despite the chaotic forces swirling around us, and present the love of two souls embracing each other through the way of a man and a woman to each other, which is capable of purifying the whole world.

Boxed in, claustrophobic… inspired!On the scale of human phobias, the fear of being trapped in a small space ranks pretty high. As for being holed up indefi nitely, it's hard to imagine. In Pandora 88 a box, barely 1.5 m2, encap-sulates the shared experiences of two young men (Wolfgang Hoff mann and Sven Till) who clearly would not choose such intimacy. Their steel-riveted pris-on is their living room, bedroom and exercise yard, their only source of light and sound, and a screen for memories of lives they struggle to remember. Ex-ploring the spatial limits of their prison in more ways than I'd thought possi-ble, and helped by minimal dialogue, the pair reveals their changing states of mind with devastating clarity. Rage, despair, violence and listlessness, fi ts of crazy hope and hallucination jostle for precedence as they adjust to an exist-ence whose physical pressures are all too real but whose psychological traps are unknowable. (Jenny Gilbert)

Sem mim The sea (of Vigo), that carries away and brings back the lover, the friend, gives life and movement to sem mim (without me). The ballet is rocked and soothed by the original score composed by Carlos Núñez, of Vigo, and José Miguel Wis-nik, of Brazil and based on the only set of pieces from the medieval Galician-Portuguese secular songbook that has come down to us with its scores intact: the celebrated Sea of Vigo song cycle by Martín Codax. In the seven songs, dat-ing from the 13th century, the poet al-ways expresses the voice of the woman, or, more specifi cally, the voice of maid-ens in love that weep the absence or celebrate the imminent return of the lover-friend. Anxious to be reunited, they confi de at times in the sea, at times in the mother, at times in friends. And to appease or excite their desire, they go bathing in the waves of the sea of Vigo.

The lyrics of this medieval troubadour lead Rodrigo Pederneiras to mark his moving score with the interchange between calm and fury and with the ebb and flow of the waves and also to (re)produce, in the posturing on stage, the separation between feminine and masculine, where one always com-plains of the absence of the other, in choreography portraying the constant flux of advances and retreats and the recurrence of sinuous or abrupt move-ments of the torso.

Music: Carlos Núñes and José Miguel Wisnik

Parabelo The country side inspiration and the resulting contemporary sound track, written by Tom Zé and José Miguel Wisnik, for 1997’s Parabelo, prompted the choreographer from Grupo Corpo to bring into life that, which he himself refers to, as his “most Brazilian and re-gional” creation.

From working and devotion chants, from the memory of the rhythmic baião and from the exuberant and an ever present, entangled, rhythmic points and counterpoints, emerges choreography full of hip swaying and

feet stamping. It’s a ravishing state-ment of maturity and of the expres-sive teachings, developed throug hout many years, by the maker of Missa do Orfanato and Sete ou Oito Peças para um Ballet.

From among Stravinsky’s ballet mu-sic, the Firebird and the Rite of Spring

will be performed by the Budapest Dance Theatre, and also the piece en-titled Imagine, which was inspired by Stravinsky’s musical work.

His fi rst ballet, the Firebird, immedi-ately made the young composer world-famous; it is characterised by the signif-icant impact of Russian folk music.

The basic idea of the Rite of Spring fi red his imagination after fi nishing the Firebird. It is the vision of a Russian ritual from the pagan past, in which the awakening of spring – the rebirth of nature – is greeted by the sacrifi ce of a young human being. The celebration of the reviving spring ends in a deadly rite.

It is not the first time that the South Bohemian Theatre’s ballet, the more

than 60-year-old ballet company of the South Bohemian Theatre, one of the most significant theatres of South-ern Bohemia and of the Czech Repub-lic, has performed in Hungary.

This time the Hungarian audience can see four one-act ballets from the company, which also has some Hun-garian connections

The compilation of the evening’s programme is varied, eclectic in style, determined by four diff erent pieces by three choreographers. Together with a one-act ballet each by the world-fa-

mous Portuguese Rui Horta and by the also internationally renowned Czech choreographer Petr Zuska (who is the director of the Czech National Bal-let), two new one-act ballets by Attila Egerházi will also be presented.

Each piece of the evening is a Hun-garian premiere.

The individual pieces of the evening are permeated on the one hand by poetry, and, on the other hand, by humour. I heartily recommend the evening for all generations.

It has been a long time since I last produced a full-evening piece in

Hungary; in fact my professional works more often succeed abroad. Viewing it

“from there” but “feeling it” from here I chose Félix Lajkó’s music, which has an instinctive connection with nature and with man living in nature. His music ex-udes culture, but not the culture that appears on stage or in exhibition halls, rather the culture of man – of the peo-ple living in the Carpathian Basin.

It is an instinctive, “earthy”, visceral vibration. Angelic music in a human interpretation. This is how the Horde title was created. The title can be inter-preted as a small community of people, who create a group to make life more liveable, but it can also be understood as a destructive horde which destroys its own habitat following some kind of indescribable urge. The piece in-vestigates the spiritual dilemma of the creative man. The dilemma which is the

“provision” of man who has broken away from nature.

This “provision” is not without memo-ries and the desire to return to nature.

It is not without a sense of humour, hu-manity or magic that helps us through everything. It is not without formulat-ing the retaining power of the family.

The Horde is a modest, but stubborn attempt to summarise my, our personal

“provisions”. (Attila Kun)

This piece analyses the great ques-tions of life, death, love, persever-

ance and faith from the perspective of the individual’s responsibility. It is a parable of the word of honour, pledge, loyalty to oneself, perseverance, es-pousal of our undertakings and rep-resenting them through all diffi culties and hope. It is about man’s self-sacrifi ce, about the path that everybody has to walk as an inevitable concomitant of human existence. It is about recovering

love from death. About saving love, i.e. passion. About the rejection of solitude, loneliness. About the impossibility of the lack of passion, about undertaking the tribulations of life, about their re-ward and the consummation of life.

Two great icons of Yvette Bozsik’s also staged Orpheus and Eurydice, so this choreography is also a homage to them: it bows to and commemorates the work of Pina Bausch and Mary Wigman.

Arvo Pärt: Stabat MaterFor the parts: soprano, countertenor (alto), tenor, violin, viola and cello The piece represents the moment of the Annunciation, when the Archangel Gabriel appears to Mary and delivers the Word that the Virgin is carrying the child of God. But then a vision appears to Mary of the painful future in which she sees her son’s suff ering, humilia-tion and crucifi xion. She can feel her maternal pain but more strongly than anything else she feels the holy cause, the noble task that Jesus will perform, in which she will have to play a part as his mother.

Mary: Kitti Hajszán / Brigitta Hortobágyi Archangel Gabriel: Gergely Czár

Pergolesi: Stabat MaterThis piece is dedicated to the pain of the eternal Mother on losing her child. It is about the direct pain felt on the loss of a child and also about the loss of im-mortality, the discontinuity of hered-ity, breaking the connection with the endless chain of the universe. But at

the same time it is also about faith, that nothing is in vain and that after the pain and suff ering there is hope for reunion. A great number of mothers have lost their children owing to wars, illnesses, oppression and other horrors. This piece commemorates them. We remember a mother who carried God’s child under her heart, and all mothers who believe they have found God’s face in the smile of their child.

BoleroYvette Bozsik’s Bolero-choreography was made for the Christmas Secret con-cert of the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 2011 in the performance of Valencia James. Its restaged version will be put on stage upon the request of the Na-tional Dance Theatre.

Danced by Valencia JamesMusic: Maurice RavelLighting: József Pető

The Rite of SpringThe renewed version of The Rite of Spring first performed by the Yvette Bozsik Company in 1999 is being pre-pared for the 100th anniversary of the 1913 premiere of Le Sacre du Printemps, with renewed costumes, scenic de-sign and choreography at the re-quest of the National Dance Theatre. The Rite of Spring, from Igor Stravinsky’s

Russian period, recalls ancient rituals predicting disasters with its brutal barbarism. The starting point of the original choreography was the ritual world of the legendary Nijinsky and Nijinska piece.

The Yvette Bozsik Company is twenty years old this year, and this piece also commemorates this anniversary.

The stag is an ancient symbol of Euro-pean cultural history – its shed and

regrown antlers represent eternal resto-ration itself. He is the demon, the wizard, the fairy or king of the dead, who is capa-ble of luring the hunter into a new world.

We, hunters of the 21st century evoke a kind of mythical memory in the Song of the Stag. We encode its basic symbols into the language of music and dance, into lyrical phrases, we seek the heav-enly replicas of the terrestrial transfor-mation stories till fi nally we are able to enter our own sacred space. In order to cross the symbolic bridge of metamor-phosis we must leave the old to rec-reate the usual patterns and be born again as ourselves.

We profess to the search, the con-stantly changing human condition, de-sires, the metamorphosis of man and woman, the turning points of the mind and the heart, transitory existence and timelessness. We walk into dance pic-tures, sing into choir pieces and form into music, the nutrition of the com-mon roots slumbering in our depths. This we reveal.

This change is a gift, our journey to discover ourselves, a chance to be ar-ranged into the world.

Death, birth, transformation, love, time and faith are eternal human issues. The beginning and end are simultane-

ous: it is exactly this drama that creates the retaining power of our past which is coded in folklore, as the only chance for our spiritual renewal.

With the creative power of dance poetry, with the theatrical truth of the nascent and dying motion, we tes-tify to this sacral transubstantiation, to this strengthening of faith, to the soul belonging to the world as Attila József’s heirs.

Children today experience an ar-ray of diff erent stimuli. They are at

home simultaneously with tradition-based children’s songs and games, tales of old, playing with cornhusk dolls as well as with the language of the computer, contemporary stories, the

“Kinder Egg” and our day-to-day 21st

century necessities. The performance tries to grasp this particular harmony through contemporary, children can-tered poetry, rhythm games and with

the many, many songs and dances that exist. The changes that we experience within our lives aff ect the development of our children, thus infl uencing them through poetry. Csaba Fecske, Anna Kiss, Benedek Kiss, Dénes Kiss, Endre Kukorelly, Imre Oravetz and Kriszta Tóth approach today’s world of children through a unique visualization and sensitivity. Poetry and music is such an expressive form that it is indispensable to personal fulfi llment.

EXHIBITION IN GALLERYDance – Space – Picture

Exhibition by Artist-photographer Béla DushaApril, 2013

Artist-photographer, Béla Dusha inspired both by the twenty-five-

year–old Szeged Contemporary Dance Company and its artistic birthplace, the town of Szeged combined the two into one. Not only did the devoted photog-rapher of the town create a number of albums with the pictures of the build-ings, lights and squares of Szeged, but took the photos of the performances and rehearsals of the Company as well, which gave rise to the idea of merging the two topics into an exhibition, which is the fruitful result of the shared ideas of choreographer Tamás Jurnics and Béla Dusha. The photos depict some well-known locally-related topics, build-ings and the dancers of the company in especially artistic, sometimes funny or serious compositions mingling the crea-tivity of the choreographer, the person-ality and dynamics of the dancers and the professionalism and unique vision of the artist-photographer.

EXHIBITION IN KERENGŐ GALLERYArt of Movement 100+ The Hungarian Modern Dance Hungaricum, Art of Movement – Orchestic School, Celebrates its 100th AnniversaryApril, 2013

These one hundred years are presented as part of a chamber exhibition with

the help of the Orchestics Foundation and the Collection of Art of Movement.

Inspired by Duncan, the individu-alistic modern dance art began its journey of conquest in Hungary after the arrival of Dr. Valéria Dienes Valéria (1879-1978) from Paris, which histori-cally leads us to the present time. Art of Movement (or Orchestics, a term coined by Valéria Dienes) is the intel-lectual school of dance art and a dance science and in a more general sense a novel way of thinking creating full hu-man beings, the appearance of a peda-

gogical reform and modern (nowadays classical-modern) aesthetics in the world of dance. Its system of institu-tions, besides ballet, developed and was licensed by the state by the 1920s, then in the ideological storms of the 1950s it was banned and silenced. It could recommence its history in the 1970s and the School has officially ex-isted in an institutionalized form since 1991. Today the framework of the op-eration is provided by the Hungarian Association of Art of Movement on the dance stages and by MOHA – House of Art of Movementists for education and science (research).
