Guest-performance of the Szeged Contemporary Ballet – 23.10, 19.00 h
The Szeged Contemporary Ballet will be guest at the Sofia Opera and Ballet on 23 October, Sunday, at 19.00 h with its spectacle “DANCE SUITE” and “RITUALS” – in honour of the 60th Jubilee of the Revolution from 1956.
The production is a coproduction of the Szeged Contemporary Ballet and the Hungarian National Dance Theatre.
“DANCE SUITE” – A short piece, prepared for the 60th Jubilee of the revolution from 1956. It aims to recreate the moments, the aspirations of the fight for freedom and to pay respect to the heroes. In the shown photos come to life the joy from the general enthusiasm, the thirst for freedom, together with the memory of the street battles, the sad pictures of the ravage in the background. Bartok’s dance suite draws on the purity, the dynamics and the depth of the Hungarian folk music, and that way it is adequate to the sincere act of the festive remembrance.
“RITUALS” – Real life, full with wild force and faith, always makes its way. If needed, erasing the more refined, the “supercivilized” cultures. After that, on their relics and ruins are developed new rituals. Until it itself becomes similar to the world, trodden by it. The circulation is unending. There always comes a new generation, a new horde. And rituals help the members of the community to get in contact with the representing the essence of their faith and object of their cult transcendent world. The fight between our human and our divine “I” is endless and insoluble.
