Yes, true. I was late. I was late from everywhere yesterday. The reason? Dance!
In the afternoon I took part in József Trefeli and Gábor Varga's workshop. We did a warm-up and some improvisation. I could not SWITCH OFF my ankle however hard I tried - but the dancers were really nice and did not give up on me. Zombie walz rocks!
With this training they also prepared for their 20-minute street performance (which can be seen also today, Saturday, at 7 pm-Klauzál tér!). JINX103 played with the fact that they were both Hungarians born outside of Hungary. Go and catch it this evening!
Egyedem begyedem tengertánc... (Hungarian children's rhyme, a samanic version)
Engaging the street.
And the street likes it!
Meanwhile we enjoyed the guys, the guys could have enjoyed this view had they looked upon the rooftops of Szeged.
For people with a lack of imagination, moving pictures with sound! :)
Eros frolicking
Rita Góbi is one of my favourite coregraphers in the Hungarian contemporary dance scene. "Men and women, tango dancers and contemporary dancers, a striptease artist, a mime artist, an opera singer, a cellist, a harp player, a lute player and a brass player will fill the stage". Promising, isn't it.
This time, however, the concept was a bit too overwhelming. VaDulva (~ Wilding) had a very powerful image. But we got everything right in the beginning, and apart from the last 5 minutes, the show sank into monotonity. The rich, sensual costumes and the erotic dance put next to a chamber orchestra and an opera singer leaves your mouth open. You keep looking here and there, luxurious sexuality pops up in every corner of the stage. But after the strong entrance we expect more...
Full house again.
Of course in the end there is a climax to it. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Friday passed quickly. How can a lovely day end in such a deep shock? My thoughts are with you, dear friends and collegues in Oslo. (2nd Photo: credits to Róbert Révész)
