Freak Fusion: fightinGravity DATE: 11 January 2019 8 pm TICKET PRICE: 2400 HUF / 1900 HUF (student) Passes accepted Like everyone, a circus artiste’s life is dictated by the downward pressure of gravity – hanging in suspension, floating, hovering, tumbling, doubting. But through the medium of circus impossible situations can be brought to life in front of our eyes. What would it be like if gravity was inverted? How would it be to live life upside down? What would happen if we were literally able to ‘climb up the walls’? This performance takes theories and then shatters them, allowing the audience to experience for a moment what it is like to challenge this ever-present downward pressure.
Chen-Wei Lee (TPE) –Zoltán Vakulya (HU): Together Alone // nextfest_3 DATE: 16 January 2019 8 pm TICKET PRICE: 1998 HUF / 1600 HUF (student) NEXT Passes and General Passes accepted Together Alone is a solo in dancing together, which counters the individual loneliness with the power of being together. Deprived of all external concealment and decorations, the two of them return to the primitive in dance and face each other with their most naked selves. In this intimate space and time, they communicate with each other and learn to move forward through compromises and cooperation. Through constant giving and receiving, they explore the invisible border between the seemingly close bodies. By consistently linking up and then separating, the find harmony in conflicts and again trigger conflicts in harmony.

smART! XTRA: IT’S A MATCH! // nextfest_3
Deeper is about constant movement, sinking into the understanding and experiencing the other. There is no end to this exploration, it is an inexhaustible process. The performance explores interaction through the sense of touch. Layer to layer, skin to skin, leather to leather, human to human, couple to couple; as a group they investigate the nature of proximity of social, physical, emotional bodies. How can one touch without touching? How can one be close without being too close? How can one be in a relationship that is trusting and intimate, but which provides enough space to maintain the freedom of interaction? Dancers-choreographers Marcio Kerber Canabarro, Csaba Molnár, Zsófia Tamara Vadas and Imre Vass know each other for a long time but this is their first collective work.

DATE: 22 January 2019 8 pm 23 January 2019 8 pm TICKET PRICE: 2400 HUF / 1900 HUF (student) Passes and NEXT Passes accepted Nibiru is creative process created by Zsófia Tamara Vadas dancemaker, Ábris Gryllus media artist and Márton Emil Tóth fine artist. The performance is presented by children, who were deeply involved into the creative process. The legends says that Nibiru is the tenth planet of the solar system, which when crashing into Earth will end the forms of life as we know them now. Real and fictitious worries about the planet, uncertainties of childhood and rituals of becoming adults are put in a playful, fantastic frame. Instead of being fearful this time the end of the world is a territory of dreams and utopia.
Compagnie Pál Frenák: W_all Miet Warlop (BE): Fruits of Labor DATE: 25 January 2019 8pm TICKET PRICE: 1998 HUF / 1600 HUF (student) NEXT Passes and General Passes accepted Let’s try to go beyond, leaning over the balcony of language. What else can be an alternative to plain reality than trying to grasp the soul of things? A night music performance - a painkiller for the world. In Fruits of Labor, Miet Warlop stages real people with open minds that reach straight for the heart. Five performers swing around major themes such as religion, martyrdom, slowmotion, terrorism, romanticism, tradition, leadership, psychosis, time, drugs, trips and nature.
DATE: 13 February 2019 8 pm 14 February 2019 8 pm TICKET PRICE: 2800 HUF / 2200 HUF (student) Passes accepted New faces, new energies and creative works of performers – which all stem from varying sociocultural backgrounds – masterfully intertwine in this performance along the artists’ individual conception, much like fragments - like components of a Rubik’s cube. While using walls as metaphors, ten artists present their views on social apathy, being different or even add their own, new perspectives. The W_all examines the current, tense world and although it does not portray it in a direct way, like a clinical picture, it reveals a truly thought-provoking and colorful universe, in which there is a constant quest for the gist of common sense.
