Stage crossings

Csaba Horváth initiated the company Fortedanse. The leader-choreographer now selects freely the dancers he wants to work with for his conception and performance. His new choreography has an enigmatic title: The Incidental Estate of the Bodies' Surface. Tamás Halász and Sándor Hegedűs wrote about the performance. All artists are graduated ballet dancers, some of them being members of the Opera House and some of them trying to survive as freelance. However, they all show up in contemporary performances. This means that there must be some meeting points among different styles. About professional facts, emotional and existential conclusions Márta Péter asked Katalin Lőrinc, Alexandra Kozmér, Roland Csonka and Miklós Dávid Kerényi.

Réka Szabó, dancer-choreographer and director also opens crossings among diverse genres. Actors and dancers play in her performances seeking for connections between text and movement, dance and theatre. Borbála Sebők made an interview with the leader of the Tünet Együttes.

He has been conceiving settings and writing music for films and theatres since 1985 and taking part in different electro-acoustical musical ensembles since 1993. Kata Demcsák wrote about his latest performance PRE-ACTIO and István Sándor L. made an interview with him.
