The Symptoms (H): 'The Miracles Of The Night', 16 August @ Sziget Theatre & Dance Tent Presented By XpatLoop.com
- 16 Aug 2016 9:10 AM
A girl busy with her drawing and a boy recreate this strange, dream-like state of something like awe in which two people just stare at each other.
The performance is inspired by the eponymous poem by Sándor Weöres, a poetic vision that is free-ranging, erratic and unfettered by rules, as Weöres’s poetry often is. In short, no age limit or PG rating applies. This special linguistic idiom is reenacted here on stage with the backing of paintings, drawings and animation by two artists, Ildikó Mezei and Éva Taskovics.
The Animata software — a work in progress developed by Bence Samu since 2007 — has been instrumental in breathing life into the objects and figures created by the girl as she draws them on stage. The projected world and the dancers thus enter an entirely bizarre, surrealistic relationship whereby the drawn lines are personified to engage and interact with the live actors.
