The performance is a reflection on the Romanian Folk Dances by Béla Bartók, an adaptation to the piano of his piano work composed in 1915 for drum, piano and bass. It depicts the scenes of rural life and tells the audience about our daily life.

It shows changes in the relationships of the members of a community as the audience sees them unfold, the various feelings and situations. Whether it is a ball, or the dance of a lonely man, a pas de deux involving coquetry or flirtation, we drift farther and farther from each other in this virtual world.

Our communities have also changed, and most of all, they do not put humans in the centre. However, we are looking for a community spirit based on human relationships. Contradictory features of the performance like expressionism seeking the boundaries of human existence, irony, as well as deliberate simplicity and musical complexity based on counterpoint - all seem to get on well together.
