The choreographer of the performance, Kinga Varga, when asked what desires and instincts she had in mind when she dreamt up the movement world of the performance, gave the following answer: 'I wanted to choose a theme that would touch everyone, regardless of culture, gender or age, and that everyone could easily identify with. I wanted to connect them through the piece, showing that everyone has something in common, even if they are all different. I created a world of movement in which the dancers physically connect with the audience amidst strong instinctual dancing."

INTERVIEW - DART

They are unashamedly free, endearingly self-possessed. While of course they are professional dancers, just loosely transcending all sorts of boring expectations and rules, they move, roll, lift, exist and - yes - laugh and laugh in a way that is simply: wow!!! They are fresh, cool, contemporary. They are the Dart. Varga Kinga. Emese Nagy. Kristóf Várnagy. Watching them is a therapeutic burst of energy: at first every gesture seems like an inside joke of the team, then suddenly you realise that it doesn't matter at all, because you're already swept away, you're somehow "inside" and "with them"! We are with them! 

"IT WILL BE LIKE A SATURDAY NIGHT PARTY IN BUDAPEST"

As part of the Jewish Arts Days, the Tel-Aviv Party will take place at Mazel Tov, featuring Israeli DJs and the contemporary dance troupe DART. On this occasion, we talked to Kinga Varga, the artistic director of the troupe, and its members Emese Nagy and Kristóf Várnagy.

CRITICS

SÁROSI EMŐKE: AN A IN CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION!

DART DANCE COMPANY: THE TWO SLUTS

The performance speaks the gesture language of young children, inviting them to play and experience. It is dynamic and energetic, yet easy to consume. It's also a recipe for a healthy children's lifestyle: little salt and spice, lots of movement with conservatively sliding pigtails, plus the sanctity and happy unity of family. So be it.

SÁROSI EMŐKE: DANCE UTOPIAS

DART DANCE COMPANY: ALPHA

Exciting ideas, spectacular solutions, professionalism and humility are the key words of the evening. See, feel and think - that could be the message.

DANCEART TROUPE: G.A.M.E. - REVIEW

Perhaps it was only the fierce desire of young forces to innovate that inspired the idea, which, banishing all other means, seeks to convey only the beauty inherent in the power of movement. But in this ambitious undertaking there is also a code of the impossible...

CSABA KUTSZEGI: AN ODE TO BALLET-THERMAL SILLINESS

DART DANCE COMPANY: Descend - A SMALL GONZO

Ballet-thermal silliness is the best thing in the world...

Ballet-thermal tomfoolery is like when carnivorous fry tear-peck-peck each other: seemingly a simple game, but later the lives of the individuals may depend on its quality. Balletic tomfoolery may seem a useless pastime, a gentlemanly mischief, but it is deadly serious: life itself. Ballet-space fooling, if it is practised seriously by serious men and women who look like frivolous children, if they not only imitate it but bite deeply into it, if they give their bodies and souls, then... Then the whole world is ballet-space fooling, and every man and woman is a dancer in it.

And speaking of voltage and power sockets: all in all, it was an enlightening evening, full of new and alternative sources of energy.

Hosts of independent companies are coming up with a series of programmes and initiatives aimed at giving a stage, and thus an opportunity, to young, emerging creators. In the context of ever shrinking public funding, initiatives such as the TITÁNium grant from the Jurányi Incubator House or the Bethlen Téri Theatre's Talreffen series are particularly important. Artus has also launched a programme to give young artists the opportunity to rehearse and perform.

DAY SEVEN - MOVEMENTS AND IMMOBILITY

The seventh day of the POSZT Festival was dedicated to movement and dance. Ákos Török's report. 

There were times when the dancers moved, there were also times when the audience could get involved in the performance, and in Manna Production's Emigrants we were able to take a look at the hopelessness of moving abroad.
