Budapest Spring Festival: In a Maze

2012. 03. 26.

One of the last big shows of the Budapest Spring Festival is the 'In a Maze' performance of the PR-Evolution Dance Company.

This premiere of the PR-Evolution Dance Company is a Belgian–Serbian–Hungarian coproduction. The three-part show presents the choreographies of Brussels-based Máté Mészáros, Belgrade-born Leo Mujic, and Zsófia Nemes, director of the PR-Evolution Dance Company, former soloist of the Szeged Contemporary Dance Ensemble. All three explore the ways in which we establish connections, the problems of communication and self-identity. Zsófia Nemes’s lyric, refined choreography grasps the sense of being lost. “Máté Mészáros, the creator of the second part, says: “We are in continuous contact with ourselves, and we keep seeking the right answers in the form of an inner monologue. We react to the questions we ask ourselves, to those created by time as it seeps through us. Our answers are often correct, but sometimes the enigma, the lack of an answer renders us speechless, and only the question resounds in the silence.”


“We can get isolated from others in a variety of ways,” says Leo Mujic, “without our recognizing it is happening, or it being too late when we become conscious of it. New technologies, like chat or Skype enable us to talk to others without meeting them. Maybe ever. Nameless, faceless. We can get outcasts even within a community, for reasons real or perceived. The simplest solution is escape. Into ourselves. The world turns in on us, we become its captives, self-searching becoming the only reason for, and means of, survival.”
