Ifjú Szivek Dance Theatre - NOMBRIL - Everything between east and west
This programme is held in Hungarian.
The House of Music shares curatorial duties from time to time with individual artists; the next such Curatorial weekend host will be Dusán Hégli, who is the artistic director of the Bratislava Young Hearts Dance Theatre. The weekend he curates culminates Sunday evening in a multidisciplinary performance. PUPEK examines the complexities and details of Central Europe. With eight dancers, musicians and performers, it points out, in Milan Kundera’s words, the weary wisdoms and lazy generalizations. We all love our nation, but there have been and are moments when our European identity breaks through the borders of national identity. The piece was presented eleven times at the La Luna Theatre in Avignon, where it achieved outstanding critical and public success. Thanks to the published professional reviews, it received invitations to the Švanda Theatre in Prague, the National Theatre in Bratislava and the Studio Theatre in Warsaw.
Forgive me for having been a bad youth sometimes. I want to live, but now I am needed. So that truth may triumph, so that humanity may prevail, so that lies and hatred may die. By now existence may seem unbearably light and meaningless. Somehow we have managed to crumble into our own destiny, like Kundera’s protagonists. Forgetting renders much of human effort pointless, but our struggle is precisely this. This, the struggle of memory against forgetting, here at the navel of Europe. Please, do not cry! It would be a waste of energy. My message is: without an idea, man does not live, he merely exists.
