Dance School

18. Oct. Sun., 17:00
Cultural Centre, Kamenica nad Hronom

The interactive family performance presents the traditional dance types and dialects of Central Europe, conveying connections and insights that were long ago highlighted by the work of György Martin, yet are rarely discussed today. Set within the framework of a classroom lesson, the performance helps children understand how the traditions of our past are connected — and can still connect — to the world of the present.

The audience becomes acquainted with Hungarian, Moravian, Ruthenian, Romanian, Slovak, Romani, and Gorál traditions. Through its direct and playful tone, the production creates an engaging bridge between the fascinating world of traditional culture and young audiences.

Forgive me for sometimes being a rebellious son. I wish to live, but I am needed now. For truth to prevail, for humanity to win, for lies and hatred to die. Being nowadays may often seem unbearably light and absurd. Somehow we have fallen into our fates like Kundera's characters. Forgetfulness renders most of man's efforts futile. Nevertheless, this is our struggle: the fight of memory against oblivion, here in the navel of Europe. Please, don't cry! It would be a waste of effort. My message is this: without an idea, man is not living, only existing. 
 
PUPEK examines the complexities and intricate details of Central Europe. The eight dancers, the musicians and performers expose trite wisdoms and convenient generalizations using Milan Kundera's words. We all love our nations, but there were and are moments when our European identity transcends national boundaries.

We can agree that cheating on your partner is a sin. The feeling of love itself, no matter how beautiful, does not justify infidelity. You shall not commit adultery!

We can also agree that taking care of my old mother is my bounden duty. Even though she has hurt me all her life. Why? Because it was commanded to us from above. How else would we know what is right?

Also that I have no right to take someone’s life. Except when that life is still in my womb, and not older than 12 weeks.

Can we agree on that? If not, then…

Let's reach an agreement.
