CITY

Contemporary dance (2010)

Straightforward, ironic and bold CITY is a political pamphlet entwined with movement. Through the language of theatre and dance, CITY deals with social discrimination, prejudice, power, fear and faith in the bustling urban sprawl.

CITY's sonic world is a combination music, soundscapes and machine. Settled in the theatre space the soundscapes melt into musical shapes transforming the space we see to the most refined level of theatricality.

'It's been long since I last saw dancers on stage with such freed, tittering wit.' Csaba Králl
