Máté Mészáros: InSoundOut

Who is a dancer when he is not dancing? What is it that defines his personality, how can this human character, stripped of everything, be represented on stage as a dancer, without dance?

In László Mádi's life, dance has always played a big part, ever since he was a child. Yet this time, the choreography will approach the development process that defines him as a dancer today through another medium: music. The space where the performance happens is the top of a table on which the means of expression, the dancers' musical instruments, appear, and the message of the movements is transmitted to the audience through music. The performance takes shape inside the spectators' heads, who, in this case, will not percieve the sounding-moving choreography through their eyes, but through their ears, and their whole presence, while they themselves get an invitation to take part in it. Máté Mészáros's choreography is much more like an experience turned into a celebration than a proper dance performance.

Csaba Molnár: LILITH

One person – a woman – a dancer stands in the empty space defined by the walls of the theatre. She is waiting patiently for her witnesses – the audience – to take their seats, so she can start her assertion. Her body and personality serve as a medium through which – by the opening of which – she can  pitch into a collective channel of information. She projects and transmits pictures, sensations,  thoughts, opinions, and problems from the flow of information of the past, present, and future, information that has been accumulated but remained undigested, creating only chaos and confusion. She doesn't express an explicit opinion, but she does offer options and possible answers. The diversity of the events and the presenting of different options simultaneously are, in fact, the opinion. Just like the ancient character of Lilith, much-debated and with many different interpretations: a female demon, an old Sumerian goddess, the goddess of high winds, a witch. She is the symbol of the educated, powerful woman, but also of emancipation.
