In 2009, the several year-long collaboration of the Central Europe Dance Theatre and Éva Duda reaches its next stage: in the frameworks of C.E.D.T.’s twentieth anniversary, the choreographer’s new performance entitled THE CARNIVAL will be shown in Merlin Theatre as a new venue.
A brand new side of The Unknown – since Zoltán Feicht recently joined Cirque du Soleil, from March 2009, two young artists will dance the duet entitled The Unknown. In Budapest Nóra Palcsó and Zoltán Katonka, members of the Central Europe Dance Theatre will debute in the performance in April (C.E.D.T). In late spring, the piece will also be shown in Szeged and at a festival in Nizhny Novgorod.
The Romanian Ion Dacian National Theatre has invited the Budapest Operetta Theatre’s popular musical Romeo and Juliet to Bucharest, where the Romanian adaptation of the piece will be shown in the spring of 2009. The Hungarian creative team has already completed casting and begun the rehearsal period with the local actors and dancers. The premiere will take place on 30 April, 2009 in Bucharest.

The idea of creating this dance film emerged in me during the process of choreographing the performance entitled Arena in cooperation with the Central Europe Dance Theatre.

I was first invited by Kata Juhász, then by Ádám Fejes to hold a training course for the students of the Terminal Program. I accepted the invitation partly because I consider their work very useful and fruitful in professional terms and because it is always exciting to teach and initiate people who are curious and hard working, and want to become dancers more than anything else. This is an important and inspiring force for both them and me.

The Green Salon leads us to an exaggerated, distorted, grotesque and self-alienated landscape, where our carefully kept and protected desires stare back at us from the mirror. In this performance made up of short story-garlands the series of contemporary rituals is framed by melodies evoking the flair of the beginning of the century. The stage is filled with the mixture of desire and fear, suppressed emotions and relentlessly haunting fantasies. Smooth stray bodies caress and explore one another’s secret texture, while followed by curious and hungry eyes.
