Pas de qautre '16 – panorama of Hungarian dance ensembles (30 April, 2016)
We brought this panorama of Hungarian dance ensembles to life in 2013 with the name Pas de trois ‘13. Under the aegis of this original initiative, the Ballet Company of Győr and Ballet Pécs made guest appearances in the home of the Opera’s ballet ensemble. Then, in 2014, the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company also joined the event, with the programme appropriately renamed Pas de quatre ‘14, starting a tradition in which the country’s four greatest ballet companies can all be seen on one night.
This evening of ballet will feature four unique productions from four Hungarian companies: Uneven (Ballet Company of Győr), Orpheus and Eurydice (Ballet Pécs), Mimicry (Szeged Contemporary Dance Company) and Walking Mad (Hungarian National Ballet). Each of the four one-acts gives a different answer to the question of what possibilities and forms are available to the language of ballet as it seeks new paths forward while building on tradition.
