backs turned to time
a thousand tongues cry

mama is a choreographic space somewhere on the intersection of the obscure and the sensual. Through exploring a set of enigmatic organs, mama confuses the concepts of in and out and proposes an embodied sense of self-alienation where the human is challenged as identity and stimulated as materiality.
mama aims to nurture a realm of countless entanglements, where the sensual and the erotic reach beyond human-to-human contact and become one’s main source of the desire to continue to belong to the world. The scenes are organed around one another as teardrops, wrinkles, and stones, creating a vulnerable structure for the work.
mama unfolds farkas’ previous solo babes and continues the choreographic research organ-ing.
Organ-ing proposes a sense of fiction to intertwine with the body’s pre-existing narratives and bring forth an array of fantasies that weave together the felt sense of the body. The practice aims to create a form of worlding that doesn’t stop at the body’s borders, where the material and the fantastic are in continuous synthesis.
gergő d. farkas (they/them) is a gathering of cells with a passion for choreography, dance, organisation, facilitation, romance and mischief. Being lost in Stockholm, Budapest, Vienna, or somewhere in between, they dream of belonging to sensual spaces where not only humans are invited to dance.
Their choreographic work has been presented in venues and festivals such as Trafó House of Contemporary Arts (HU), Dansehallerne (DK), Open House Festival (CY), MTD Legacy Festival (NL), Dansmakers Amsterdam (NL), MDT Moderna Dansteatern (SE), amongst others.
In season 2022-2023, gergő was a resident artist at Creative Europe’s Performing Gender program and toured their piece Deep Fake as a part of the Aerowaves Twenty22 selection. In 2021, gergő received the DanceWeb Scholarship, under the mentorship of Frederic Gies and Anne Juren.
As a performer, gergő has worked with Cullberg, Frederic Gies, Kata Juhász, Tanya Marquardt, Ofelia Jarl Ortega, Karin Pauer, Alma Söderberg, Viktor Szeri, Alex Franz Zehetbauer amongst others. Between 2021 and 2022, they were a part of the Budapest-based queer collective OMOH. gergő holds a BA in contemporary dance from the Amsterdam University of the Arts (MTD department) and an MFA in Choreography from the Stockholm University of the Arts.
