Bemutató:
1st Part | Ballet Company of Győr: Bolero
Photo (on the left): Orosz Sándor
“I created Bolero for the Wiener Staatsballett in 2012. I was cautious to approach Ravel’s magnificent music as Bolero is a heavily played piece loaded with clichés. Many have already created dance pieces for that music including several standard ones (Maurice Béjart, Iván Markó) that the audience will remember for long. I did not want to be an epigone and simply focus on the usual relationship between man and woman as well as passions and emotions.
My Bolero is a piece with no plot, designed for ten female and ten male dancers who, dancing in uniform costumes, in huge black robes, are trying to visualise a monumental, dark ballroom act with a cold tone. I have attempted to create my own design language by melting grotesque, almost parodistic elements of ballroom dance and tools of modern dance.
I have endeavoured to raise motions to the level of the monotonous and progressively rising, pulsating music by gradually complicating the simple, minimised movements of dancers and increasing their number and a more frequent change of spatial forms and thus create a whole as a result.” András Lukács

Newton’s first law, also known as the law of inertia, was framed by Isaac Newton in his well-known writing, the Philosophia Naturals Principia Mathematica. The law states: Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a state line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it. According to Stephen King’s „everything is connected to everything” principle and based on physics this law can be used for describing the connection between life and fate. This inertia affects our lives and the actions – let it be good or bad – are controlled by fate.
Much as we feel like we are the true conductors in our lives, it can only be conceited fantasy.
In fact we are just following the will of an uncomprehendingly huge wit’s well-functioning
mechanism. We have chance for not more than to perceive, understand and interpret everything happening to us. We are not the ones to cast a shadow to the world but we are the shadows themselves casted on the world which in their desire’s delirium helplessly follow the events carrying-on.

3rd Part | Ballet Pécs: Orpheus and Eurydice - excerpt
Photo (bottom right): Mihály László
The story of the poet Orpheus and his journey to the underworld is one of the most enduring, and significant in mythology. It is a myth that plays out in our daily lives as a testament to grief, love and loss, and perhaps most significantly it is about the power of art itself; the search for and commitment to inspiration and true artistic expression. It is a myth that gave birth to the ancient Orphic mystical religion, and its truth allows for the most personal of artistic expression to breathe.
