The first section deals with Péter Telihay, who directed theatre performances of high artistic quality showing one and the same approach. This season he put on stage performances that examine all the distortions caused by power: consequences on the private life and destiny of those who hold it (Moliere - based on Bulgakov's piece at Szabadka, The Thunderstorm by Ostrovsky at Veszprém, Urs Widmer's Top dogs at Szolnok, at the Bárka (Ark) theatre Liliom by Ferenc Molnár and Gogol's The Inspector General and). His performances are analysed by István Sándor L.
One of the major scandals in the Hungarian theatre life was the dismissal of the artistic director at the theatre in Szolnok. The local government did not take in account the application system, either any artistic point of view, taking a decision purely based on political principles. Péter Telihay took part in this procedure first as member of the named theatre and later as an applicant. In an interview he talks about his artistic programme and gives some details of the selection procedure.
The Budapest Dance School undertook a unique and intrepid attempt by selecting from oeuvres of three American artists: Graham, Limón and Ailey and inviting its spectators to a fantastic time travel. The Dance Reconstructions is analysed by Márta Péter.
In our critical section we write about oeuvres of former and recent students of the Budapest Dance School (Adrienne Hód, Imre Vass, Tamás Bakó and Júlia Hadi) and about Inspiration - a night devoted to emerging choreographers (Anna Réti, Konjar Jurij, Attila Gergely and Zsófia Murányi). We also deal with pieces of Kata Juhász and Attila Gergely, the performance of the Hungarian National Ballet's young choreographers. There are essays on the 20th Century by Tamás Juronics at the Szeged Contemporary Ballet and on Angelin Preljocaj's performance entitled "N".
