Some people need to immerse themselves in the world of a true classic every evening: this family fairy tale ballet by the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company gives every member of the family the opportunity to do just that.

The next stop of our Live Dance Archive series, marked by the name of Zoltán Zsuráfszky, will be presented under the title Viharsarok, this time directed by Gergő Sánta, dance leader of the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble.

Az Új-Angliai Boston lakossága izgalmas napra ébred: a városi tömlöc kapuján a házasságtörő Hester Prynne lép ki újszülött csecsemőjét magához szorítva. Útja a főtéren álló pellengérhez vezet, ahol a gyalázkodó tömeg azt várja, hogy feltűzzék ruhájára a skarlátvörös A betűt. A szégyen jelét, élete végig, egyedül viseli, hiszen társát a bűnben nem nevezi meg. Már csak azért sem, mert az a közösség nagy tiszteletben álló fiatal lelkésze: Arthur Dimmes…

Compared to Swan Lake, the well-known version of the classical ballet, I wished to rephrase the piece from another aspect, in a different light. In my interpretation, Siegfried is a young man with a split mind, who is being held captive by the traumas of his childhood as a result of his relationship with his mother.

One evening – two dance productions by the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company.

Kizökkent az idő…, ahogy Shakespeare-nél szokott. De, míg Hamlet azzal a bizonyossággal lép a színpadra, hogy általa még helyretolható – Lear az első pillanatban elveszti a csatát. Nem fokozatosan fog széthullani; az egykori nagy király és magabiztos férfi egyetlen pillanat alatt semmisül meg, amikor imádott felesége sírba száll. Darabbéli útja innen csak tántorgás a végső nyughely felé. Hangulat ingadozásai, átkai, dührohamai, de még kétségbeesett kapaszkodási kísérlete is lányaiba – mind a pótolhatatlan űrrel magyarázhatók. Képtelen tovább a kormányzásra; így válik a birodalom felosztása kényszerűvé. Nincs előre eltervezettség és racionális döntés, csak kapkodó improvizálás.

Ever since God gave Adam a companion, fashioned from his rib, in Paradise, the order of the world has been that no one should live alone. Its modality has taken dozens of shades over the millennia since then: cohabitation, bigamy, polygamy, polyandry, all the way until we come to the most familiar form today.

We get an insight into the ritual-filled life of barbarian settlement trying to seek out a living on the ruins of a civilisation and fighting for survival, fighting with their fears, trying to live through all things fate brings on to them.

The soul-liberating moments of rural life—when we dance, sing, and the music begins to play!

Zsófia Pirók was the first Hungarian to earn a degree in flamenco dance from the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza in Seville. Her performances have been featured both in Hungarian and in international theatres and tablaos. In 2019, she was awarded the title Best Dancer of the Season from the Association of Hungarian Dance Artists. Her premieres are part of the programme at the National Dance Theatre Budapest, where she represents the highest level of the art of flamenco in Hungary.

Written in 1909,‘Liliom, or the Life and Death of a Villain' captivates audiences everywhere. It tells the story of a powerful and chaotic love affair between a maid and a carousel operator. It’s a story of misery, raw emotions and fragility. The characters take ownership of their fate and lock themselves in their failures; it is as if they’ve been down the same road a hundred times without ever learning.

Pursuing happiness, love and affection through countless adventures across this great wide world, but still eventually finding a final peace in the arms of his beloved, Peer Gynt is one of the most complex characters in 19th-century drama.

VASAS DANSE: Closed Doors

The presence of another person is a stimulus on stage. A stimulus that immediately becomes a question, a challenge, an attack. When two people meet, values, customs, traditions, and languages always come together. Expectations. The compulsion to meet other’s expectations. I have to make room within myself for the other person, who can only find meaning within me according to my own rules and my own axis of experience. That is how my own existence is reinterpreted in the other.

„...a Héttorony mélyében fekszik a mérhetetlen kincs, melynek a Barát az őre; bizonyos éjeken látni őt völgyeket áthágó lépéssel, fejével a holdig felérve járni, s a kincshöz vivő kulcsokat kinálgatni. Ezen kincs magába foglalja mind azt, mi az isteni magyarföldön csak lelhető: aranyfákat, gyümölcsöt, szöllőgerezdeket, mindennemű állatot, bor helyett, iható folyékony aranyat, arany tyúkokat, hasonló tojást költve, arany köveket….”
Ipolyi Arnold

The Fitos Dezső Dance Company is careful to regularly stage dance theatre performances that consider the authentic transmission of folklore and the cultures of various historical Hungarian regions as their primary goal. Transylvania Express is a selection of Transylvanian dances and music. With this performance, we want to convey the message that traditional culture lives on in all of us who believe in the value of keeping tradition alive—because tradition defines our future!

The idea for The Nutcracker ballet came from theone-time director of the Tsarist theatre who, based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s fairy tale entitled the Nutcracker and the Mouse King, wanted to stage a fairy tale ballet that would surpass all that had gone before, both in sound and in spectacle. Tchaikovsky was asked to compose the music and after Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty his third and final ballet was also a great success. It was the six-movement suite of the music of The Nutcracker that was first performed in March 1892, and in December of the same year the spectacularly presented theatrical work was also performed. The Nutcracker has become the most frequently played ballet piece of all time.

Confinement and isolation, freedom and endlessness. FrenÁk’s emotionally charged choreographic structures use dynamic forms of movement to gain visibility and captivate the audience.

The evoked era in the performance coincides with the time of the original premiere of Swan Lake. At the same time the second half of the 19th century was also a period known for the spreading of mental hospitals; patients 'possessed' by animal spirits and treatments of mental illnesses by torture and other bizarre methods.

Once again, a talented new generation of creative artists with a serious devotion to folk dance has grown up.

Rhapsody as a genre is characterized by caprice and the passionate undulation of emotion, thoughts, and the freedom of expression. Hungarian Rhapsody incorporates all of the peculiarities of thegenre, relying on tradition, and drawing inspiration from it, to create a special and unique dance rhapsody. The colorful diversity of the Hungarian peasant traditions appear in dynamically alternating images – the acrobatics of the male dances, the poetry of the female dances, and the virtuosity of the couples’ dances. The most beautiful melodies of folk culture surface at times as dance accompaniments, or as whimsical solos, and at other times as tempestuous orchestral play.

Immerse yourself in rich folk music traditions and gastronomy including a live show in the stunning Buda Castle. Young musicians bring the authentic melodies of Hungary’s iconic regions to life, complemented by captivating traditional dances and delicious cake and coffe.
