Zsuzsa Rózsavölgyi: Meduse
07.02.2025. 20h
Trafó House of Contemporary Arts
The choreography explores the nature of movement and the dynamics of natural phenomena in an ever-changing environment. It is both a proposition for change and stability, examining how these principles manifest in ecological systems Through finely coordinated group movement, a state of awareness arises where the ego fades away. The ego-self transforms into an eco-self, interwoven with the rhythm of the surrounding world. The audience witnesses the dance of the deep seas while sensing the profound connection between the human body and other forms of life.
In an unusually large-scale contemporary dance performance, 20 dancers take the stage. Rózsavölgyi’s hypnotic choreography is brought to completion by Bánk Sáry’s composition, based on the sounds of water.
Medúza was performed in 2016 on the stage of Trafó, featuring 21 dancers, and was nominated for the Rudolf Lábán Prize. This time, the pulsating choreography is revived by dance students from the Budapest Circus Arts and Contemporary Dance College and the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
