Frenák?s travels to Budapest, Paris, and Japan have inspired the show, which is a deliberately ironic and merciless take on the "emergency" of meeting the other.
Táncélet.hu, the web portal for Hungary?s dance scene, describes the performance: ?Against a spotless white background, the show presents the luscious sensuousness of an imperfect world. The dancers are constantly clashing, their bodies leaving visible traces as they touch one another, the walls, and spaces in search of the other's presence. The dancers' movements are wildly jerky: they kick, they sprint, and their clashes echo as electro-acoustic techno music to the rhythm of blood circulating in the body?The clean slate is dirtied with life. Stigmatised bodies etch movements into the space of struggle along the axis of memory and oblivion.?
?Dance is the act of expulsion. One's life is leaving neutral tracks inside and outside the body, on itself and on the walls. The act of leaving signs is random, a mixture of sweat and blood, fluids and spots. The duos are cannibalistic encounters between figures devouring one another in an endless series of entwining and separation: bites on the apple of sinning, the consumption of the other person, acquisition and possession,? write Táncélet?s critics.
?Tricks and Tracks? will be shown at 20:00 on both March 9 and 10 at the Trafó House of Contemporary Arts, Liliom u. 41, District IX, a short walk from the Ferenc körút station along the M3 metro line.
