With her Spanish-Hungarian company, Zsofia Pirok seeks a connection between musical and spiritual influences from different cultures in this impressive flamenco performance. Her choreographies are characterized by the characteristic drama of flamenco and at the same time represent the versatility and high demands of this multifaceted dance art.
Every life begins with the first breath and ends with the last. Everything around us breathes: the trees, the earth, our skin … This pulse, this rhythm, this heartbeat, this ying and yang permeates everything. The moment we create something, we always create the opposite of it. Whether it is political or artistic movements, historical epochs or elementary forces of nature. Everything around us strives for balance. A phenomenon that works even when we don’t want it.
“Something” created us, something from which we are also made. The proof of this lies in the fact that the inner rhythm of every individual since the beginning of time, across all continents, people and cultures, has been exactly the same: in everyone lives a beating heart, everyone strives for happiness. In the course of our lives we all experience love, passion, trust, new beginnings, as well as grief, despair, loss, and many other moments that shape our lives. This cycle of different sensations begins anew with each individual human life. Decisive moments that are interpreted artistically in the demonstration.
