IDOL

We look up to the idol, we idolize and imitate him. An idol is a person or role model that we can follow by common consent. Idol. Who do we see when we hear this word? Yet on the basis of which normative ideas do we select them? Where does it lead if, instead of inclusive operation, we follow idols that are designated in an exclusive manner, which are in fact foreign to us, without success?

A joint production of ArtMenők and HODWORKS, Idol creates a space where normatively able-bodied and disabled performers can take the stage together and create a world that they want to experience in their everyday, personal living spaces.

DELICATE

“How much does the body express itself, how does it communicate its personal and cultural content through dance? Does it speak differently if words do not support it? If we don’t help, ‘what we dance about’? We shaped the dancers’ original stories through dialogues between movement and text, and then abandoned the texts. With the help of our ancestors, we searched for what it means to be an Austrian, a Hungarian and a Russian woman on the same stage. Women next door, on the same side or on different ones. It’s a sensitive area.” Anna Biczók
