Réka Szabó: Chance

Chance „A game that is both cerebral and visceral. What is chance? Does it even exist? If only we were smart and quick enough as we toss the dice, perhaps we could calculate, before it hits the ground, which of its faces it will turn to us? Is chance nothing but a measure of our ignorance? Or is it the stuff of our lives, our freedom, the wind that swells the sails of humanity? Is it a wise helmsman, or a drunkard? Let’s take a cerebral and visceral look at chance – perhaps we will end up looking at one another.”

A mathematician gives a lecture on the notion of chance. In the meantime a dance performance is going on, one of whose organising principles is chance. The internal logic of the piece never ceases to puzzle the audience. Scientists and artists, closed up in their own crazy worlds, fussing over a concept that determines our life.

Réka Szabó Réka Szabó is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, teacher, founding member of L1 Independent Dancers’ Partnership. As a performer she worked with Emma Rice (GB), Milli Bitterli (A), Javier de Frutos (GB), Rui Horta (P), and with numerous Hungarian choreographers/directors (László Hudi, Márta Ladjánszki, Gyula Berger, Éva Magyar /The Shamans, Eszter Gál, etc.). As a choreographer her work has been acknowledged by a number of choreography awards and invitations to European festivals (Aerovawes/London, Madrid, Vienna, Praha, Ljubljana, Bratislava, Faro, Amsterdam, Graz).

„The dancer-choreographer’s pieces and also her stage-acting (even when she dances a part in a piece not actually created by herself) is a feast for the eye and the mind.” Tamás Halász, Balcony, 2002/10.
