Colourful show given by various local dance groups and schools in Theatre Square.

Project leader: Papp Viktor, founder of the Fordan Dance Club

1st part: Szeged Contemporary Dance Company: Blue

The performance is the joint production of the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company and the National Dance Theatre. 

In the performance, the creators use the colour blue as a kind of symbol to build their piece around its myriad meanings. They simply colour the characters, and in this way, the play, created by the differences in colour and form between the groups and individuals, leads the audience to a wide range of associations. The performance shows the suffering and the desire for freedom of the human being trapped in societal conventions, the individual ambitions against him and the power of community that represses the presence of transcendence. The creators discuss the constant cycle of the alternation of two opposing worlds, the opposition of freedom and bondage, and at the same time their belonging together. Besides meaning a certain colour, ’blue’ in English also means ’being sad, being in a melancholic mood’. This multi-meaning explains the choice of title for the performance.
