THE NUTCRACKER
Fairy-tale ballet in two acts

It takes all sorts to make a world. Both Physically and Spiritually.
How well can you spot and accept diversity in you?
Tonight we are going to look at these questions through the steps of tango.

László Seregi / Sergei Prokofiev
Romeo and Juliet
Ballet in three acts

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.

Rudi van Dantzig – Toer van Schayk / Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
SWAN LAKE
Classical ballet in three acts

What we present is not the story of Kahlo’s life but an independent visual theatre vision inspired by her art and career about a dramatic but also colourful and lively world.

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.

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.

A LÉTEZÉS egy tangó táncszínházi alkotás, amely az emberi élet útját járja be – a fiatalság sodró lendületétől az öregkor csendes belátásáig. A tangóban születik meg ez az utazás, az ölelés intimitásában, a lélek és a test mély kapcsolódásán keresztül.

Two deceptively similar suitcases end up in the wrong hands. That is how the characters embark on an adventurous journey full of complications, misunderstandings, and comic situations, where no one is quite who they seem to be. In the confusion, the threads become fatally tangled. To further complicate their relationships, the journey traps the characters in a single room. The girls become friends with each other, and the boys seek the company of the girls and then each other in their own individual ways.

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…

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.

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.

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.

Carmen is the symbol of freedom. Her story is the drama of inextinguishable, uninhibited love.

Why is the 400-year-old story of Romeo and Juliette, the world’s best known romantic tragedy, still so relevant today? Because love is eternal, the rebelliousness of youth persists, and the world is still filled with inexplicable contraditions.

Balettelőadás Michael Jackson tiszteletére az European Ballet St. Pölten előadásában

The aim of FrenÁk’s Nostalg_Y is not to reminisce about a specific age group or to make the audience cry, but to engage the audience in an intellectual and emotional game of association, where no one knows exactly who will become what, but where imagination can help everyone create a story that fits their expectations. Through randomly colliding, interconnected fragments, we gain insight into what human relations are hidden in the interactions between different generations: for example, between two young individuals who carry their older selves within them and two older characters who carry the consequences of the decisions made by their younger selves.

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.

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!

Diótörő
A karácsony legvarázslatosabb meséje az ukrán balett-társulat előadásában.

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.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
Fairy tale ballet in three acts

A Zsuráfszky Zoltán nevével fémjelzett Élő Táncarchívum sorozatunk következő állomása Viharsarok címmel, ezúttal Sánta Gergő, a Magyar Nemzeti Táncegyüttes tánckarvezetője rendezésében kerül bemutatásra. A déli Tisza-vidék nemzetiségeinek tánckultúrája, a Viharsarok magyar-román-cigány lakta falvainak kiemelkedő táncos alakjai és az ott fellelhető eredeti táncanyag különleges világa elevenedik meg Élő Táncarchívumunk következő műsorában. Az előadásban, a vidék sokszínű kulturális hagyományainak hiteles megjelenítése mellett, eddig soha nem látott táncokat és ritkán hallott zenei anyagot is láthat a közönség az autentikus tánc- és zenei válogatás színpadi megfogalmazása során.

Az 1909-ben íródott LILIOM avagy egy csirkefogó élete és halála zsigerből elragadja a nézőket. Egy kis szobalány és egy körhintás legény közötti erőteljes és kaotikus szerelem történetét meséli el. Nyomorúság, nyers érzések, törékenység. A szereplők felelősséget vállalnak sorsukért, és bezárkóznak kudarcaikba, mintha százszor megtennék ugyanazt az utat anélkül, hogy változtatnának rajta.

The inspiring influence of the exciting, ever-popular South American musical rhythms and their non-traditional use has long been present in Tamás Topolánszky’s choreographic approach. This new production uses original melodies and Hungarian-language works by Hungarian composers, with an exciting combination of music written for the production.

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.
