The
National Dance Theatre is organising its unique TáncPark series in
Budapest again this year, between 14 and 22 July with shows, group
dance tuition and performances both light and unrepeatable in the warm glow of sunset.
One of the buzzwords of TáncPark is #kövesdaritmust (‘Follow da rhythm’):
in the evenings, you can not only enjoy culture, but also look
forward to interactive events, becoming familiar with different
dances and steps with the help of professional dancers.
The
agenda for TáncPark 2021 opens with a refreshing, passionate
ballroom dance cocktail. Tango Magic + Argentine Tango entice spectators with a bohemian milonga, a swirling waltz and a magical tango.
The
next day, there will be no less fizz when the energy of
Hungarian dance fills the park. The artists of the Hungarian National
Dance Ensemble and its band showcase the typical steps of the
Satu Mare region.
There’s plenty to look forward to over the eight
days, in fact: János Feledi - Feledi Project take to the stage under
the open sky, evoking the world of Béla Bartók's music and
folklore, together with the Oláh Dezső Trio. Dance connoisseurs
will not feel left out either; on one of the evenings, they can watch
the performance of the artists in Varidance – Bartók Dance Theatre
entitled Hungarian DanceRAPsody.
The
Elemér Muharay Folk Art Association will not only bring the steps of
Hungarian folk dance to this year's TáncPark, they will also treat
the audience to a folk-costume presentation. And, in the name of fun
and relaxation, this is also the premiere of the PR-Evolution Dance
Company's An Evening Cocktail, an unusual outdoor
performance.
The Duna Art Ensemble are not left out of this diverse
cavalcade of performers either, as they will be evoking Bartók, the
traditions of dance and Hungary’s common heritage in a production
co-written with the Saint Ephrem Male Choir.
TáncPark also take you
to exotic landscapes: the dance images of TalaMantra show the world
of Indian stage dance. Finally, the vivacious rhythm of Caminos by
the FlamenCorazónArte Dance Theatre will let the audience's imagination stray from the steps of flamenco
into the unknown.
Tickets and admission
Tickets for TáncPark evenings can be bought online or in person at the ticket office at the reopened National Dance Theatre before each performance. The NDT pays special attention to the health of its spectators and artists by following the pandemic rules, so all spectators must carry an Immunity Certificate and audiences will be limited. TáncPark will not be postponed because of bad weather, as on rainy days, the Main Auditorium awaits audiences arriving for this summer series.
