The Symptoms – Réka Szabó Company

At the center of this new piece by The Symptoms is the eternal conflict between reality and truth. The distress which this conflict inflicts upon us follows us throughout our lives, embittering our days from behind a mask of existence. Computer-generated images in the presentation react to movements, position, and dynamics of the body, so graphically rendering an abstract moving picture of the distresses and fantasies of six dancers.
 

“Innovative to the bone, Réka Szabó’s new work is based on an overwhelmingly creative idea. Thanks to superb dance character performances, first-rate jazz compositions by Albert Márkos, remarkable costumes by Fruzsina Nagy, and fascinating space and lighting design by Attila Szirtes, […] we glimpse the outlines of an emerging opus whose originality, intellectual drive, playfulness, wit, and refinement must be declared truly exceptional by any standard you care to apply.” /Krisztina Horeczky, Népszabadság/
