NEGATIVE VARIETÉ

SHADOW DANCE THEATRE, OPENING NIGHT
October 6. 20:00

Creations of light, seductive silhouette game, rhythmic flow of bodies melting into each other – that is negative VARIETÉ. Our misshapen ordinary mirrors, speed and suburban dogs – play of shadow composed of “living photographs” based on the Dynamic of the Metropolis film-script of László Moholy-Nagy. The choreography of Ottó Demcsák, a founder of the Ballet Company of Győr and the appreciative directing of Viktória Szépvölgyi are accompanied with the minimalist electro-symphonic music composed by Balázs Zságer. The so far hidden topic is on stage for the first time in Hungary. Passport to the Bauhaus in the enchanted language of eight bodies.
