Placing the dancers back to a circle. Exploration of the essence between performing and experiencing. A contemporary homage to our ancestors of dance.
‘The art of folk dance, today it increasingly seems, will not be renewed from within. We need a new generation that is uninvolved, and that approaches its heritage with the same freedom as it does anything else. This is the way it is, and it has to be embraced.’ - concludes Csaba Králl, dance critic in the literary weekly Élet és Irodalom.
