The performance shows a meeting of the ghostly creatures of Hungarian folklore with their Chinese counterparts in an attempt to discover whether local traditions can survive in an increasingly homogenous global culture. The production merges mesmerising dance theatre with interactive visual projection, paper installation, trance music and narrative soundscape.
The production will be performed in Hungary, at the MU Theatre, on March 30 and 31.
