#outoftunevideoclip #sedatedmusical #enervateddance
Sedated, enervated dance and poetic images that unfold like an out of tune video clip - this is the atmosphere created by Júlia Vavra's choreography for the dancers of Willany Leó on the closing day of NEXTFESZT. It's a rare opportunity to see this performance again, so don't miss this hazy Sunday!
ripples in silence, The misty waltz is a series of simple choreographies, structured improvisational movement and poetic images embedded into the aesthetic of a distorted music video, creating a delirious and dreamlike atmosphere.
The audience is confronted with a strangely unsettling combination of mainstream and abstract elements and given the chance to explore the collision of the desire to entertain and the need to turn inward through the dancers' movement on stage.
The #kaméleon project is an articulation of the Willany Leó collective's constant striving for renewal: by involving an invited artist, they seek to redefine themselves and add new ideas to the seemingly endless notion of improvisation and contemporary dance, thus enriching the Hungarian contemporary canon.
Júlia Vavra is a Budapest-based freelance contemporary dancer, performer and choreographer. She studied at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy (2010-2015) and at the School of New Dance Development, Amsterdam University (2017-2021, as a choreographer). She is currently working as a performer and choreographer in productions at home and abroad.
