First Contemporary Folk Play

 

“Dear audience! Now, when the pandemic is over, it is high time for us to be together and enjoy each other again! My name is Aranka Podhorská, but I bet you know it, as I have been managing the cultural facility from time immemorial. Dear audience, today you can witness an extraordinary and unique gala performance, because the dancers will not only dance, but also talk.”

 

The play of the Ifjú Szivek Dance Theater will present to us the cultural life of a fictional small village and the everyday life of members of a local dance ensemble in southern Slovakia. The performance tells us with humor about the dilemmas and everyday personal suffering of local cultural representatives, using the classic instruments of folk play. All the characters and events in this story are made up, and any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.
