REM ⇑ 

Oscillating between reality and illusion, dreams are allegories of the subconscious created by automatic processing of information. While we sleep, we dream. We live these parallel lives. The disparity of the paralysed, sleeping body in waking life and the “aliveness” of sleep creates a simulacrum of wakefulness. Layeredness becomes a source of inspiration.

Transformers 2 ⇑ 

Transformers 2 is the second stage of the research of the idea of a transformative body, and as such it represents the continuation of the successful production Transformers, the first dance performance that Ida Jolić and Marin Lemić created together. This new duet continues to explore the communication between two fluid entities which are defined only by a perpetual change that follows their internal impulses and external stimuli.

Márta Ladjánszki (after 20 years of being a choreographer and dancer) graduated from the Hungarian Dance Academy as modern dancer and rehearsal leader (BA) in 2015 and as modern dance teacher (MA) in 2018. During the choreography classes she started to develop an idea which was later shared with the dancers of Derida Dance Center in the frame of its 2-week long residency program in Sofia. The idea and the choreography gradually developed by having performed it live because the piece is in sensitive dialogue with both the space and the audience. Due to the countless reactions of the viewers each performance is different though it has a firm and clear structure base.

This piece has a fully nude version in which the audience members are also textile-free!

EFFIGY ⇑

Effigy, looking at it from close: a portrait. Another image - differently. The etymological explanation of the word resonates with me, because I also think of the solo being made in this way as a resemblance, since who is on the stage is a nearly fictitious person. He feeds on and from Krisztián and appears on Krisztián's body, so he is similar to him, but he is not one in one. The appearance of the word effigy was first documented in English in 1539, probably coming through French, originating in Latin effigies, meaning copy, image, resemblance, portrait and sculpture.

metro action ⇑

Three L1-members who happen to be independent artists reviving a work which existed of two versions already:
metro action appeared in unusual situations like in the M1 metro line as a duet by Márta Ladjánszki and Zsolt Varga in 2010 and was joined by Zsolt Koroknai for the M3 line in 2020. As during the Covid19 restrictions the theater visits were not possible they moved from the tunnel into the black box, later in 2021-22 with the financial help of ‘Köszönjük, Magyarország! Program’ one could see the performance further and in very diverse spaces like in a market place, in the forest, at Lake Balaton, in art camps and exhibition spaces.

The Trap ⇑

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in space and in your own mind? It's as if you have built a trap that you can't get out of. How does this trap feel to you? How can you free yourself from it?

This performance reveals the state of feeling stuck inside oneself and in the environment one finds themselves in. The costume, which consists of a ‘second skin’ cocoon from which long pieces of fabric stretch out, intertwines with the objects around me to illustrate this physical and mental entrapment.

The Traces ⇑

The work is based on Jung's ideas about the collective unconscious. Our actions in the present are determined by what happened in the past, and our behavior is a mirror of previous generations. The connection with them is not limited to memory.
Performance The Traces is a dance visualization of the effects of psychological trauma caused by historical tragedies. They show how our culture, our relationships with people, and our destiny can be defined by the past. But it is worth remembering that these imprints can also be the key to changing the script of our future.

Danse Macabre. The Immortal Dance ⇑

This miniature performance was born at the intersection of dance, physical theater and music. The interweaving of experimental searches with tradition, the live sound of the wheel lyre and modern dance will offer you not only a spectacular form, but also important and deep meanings. The cycle, and most importantly, the interdependence of Life and Death, the place of man in this eternal cycle, is what the play focuses on. Two female performers will immerse you in the whimsical and at the same time magical world of contemporary dance theater for 30 minutes.

Our Bodies are Seeds ⇑

As a woman and as a mother, I feel the continuity of death and birth, and as a Ukrainian I need justice and retribution.
This work memorises casualties of russian-Ukrainian war, intending to highlight the ages of russian colonisation in Ukraine and to keep the round of life of the Ukrainian nation.
The performance is dedicated to the memory of the 23,000 civilians of Mariupol who were killed because of Ukrainian nationality by the Russian soldiers during the first weeks of occupation and buried by no name in a common grave.
