Faun - LAST SHOW!

Faun takes us in the direction of mystical and mythological extremes, into the enchanted and threatening world of fantasy. Inserted in a space full of water, it is a spectacularly modern adaptation of the legendary twentieth-century performance.

Composer: Péter Kunert
Choreographer: Éva Duda
The Eva Duda Dance Company created Faun in collaboration with the National Dance Theatre.

After - LAST SHOW!

As a pillar of society, a symbol of ’normality’, the very concept of family has lost much of its social value and legitimacy. This is due to many reasons: individual rights forcing themselves into the foreground, the media promoting selfishness, changing scenes on the labour market etc. We could go on listing reasons but the bottom line seems quite obvious: there is a growing gap between couples’ relationship and family interests.

Music: Péter Kunert

Lunatika - LAST SHOW!

The performance inserts dancers and viewers in a strange landscape where yesterday, today and tomorrow clash. It is like a time travel making us face all three dimensions at once while we are on the verge of being wide awake and dreaming.

Flashback: Pictures at an exhibition

The show is based on Mussorgsky’s piece entitled Pictures at an Exhibition, an important imprint of a period and its atmosphere. But all is reinterpreted through a modern lens: the movements evoking the past just like the long gone ages with the glimpse of power and repression.
