| Frenák: InTime |
The 200% Dance series will start with The Rite of Spring and Winter Voyage by the Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter and company on March 6--7.
On the programme of 200% Dance are "performances dominated not by experiment, but pure beauty. By excellent composition, streamlined scenography, the dynamics of movement, the atmosphere-creating power of music, the comprehensible, thought-through form. These are productions to be watched with open mouths and wonder - an experience for those who have never seen contemporary dance, and an equally valuable experience for professionals," the Trafó says on its homepage.
The Central Europe Dance Theatre, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, will perform pieces by last year's Rudolf Lábán Prize-winner Klári Pataky and Lábán Prize-nominee Melinda Virág, on March 3-4.
The Trafó stage will be strewn with roses when Pál Frenák returns with InTimE on March 19-21.
The month of March will finish with Inspiration, one of the most important pieces of Hungarian dance of the last 15 years, on March 26-27.
In addition to the dance performances, the Trafó will host short, multidisciplinary productions in the second installment of its Mini-a-tures series on March 12-14. The works will feature the set designer Gáspár Téri, the visual artist Zsófia Bérczi, the painter-singer-writer Bori Rutkai and Zoltán Perovics.
The TÁP Theatre, led by Vilmos Vajdai, will perform Curators, a piece about the distribution of money for culture, and the Odysseus Phase, a rap opera.
The Trafó will continue its series of Indian musical masters with a concert by N. Ravikiran, perhaps the most famous composer of Indian Carnatic music and a virtuoso chitravina player, and Dr. Trichy Sankaran on the mrdangam on March 28. A documentary film about Carnatic music will precede the concert.
The Trafó Gallery's exhibition Vacuum Noise, a selection of works by Doa Aly, Chieh-jen Chen, István Csákány, Harun Farocki, Isa Rosenberger and Artur mijewski, will run until March 29.
