Ballet Company of Győr: PianoPlays
Études to works by Liszt and Wagner
18 May 2018, Friday
5 pm - 6:10 pm
Festival Theatre
Produced by Müpa Budapest

László Velekei's works always explore the contradictions between individual actions and the judgements passed by society. For his new choreography, however, he has chosen an eternal and universally familiar theme: love. This production built around short études shows the different faces of love, which sometimes recall a stormy sea, and at other times a hidden brook, slowly burbling away. It is both battle and play between two people: to wound and be wounded, to heal and be healed. But which one is to bleed to death from the wounds caused by the other?
Entering this ‘ring of love' are the principal dancers of the Ballet Company of Győr. They will be joined by pianist János Balázs, who brings youthful energy, outstanding technical virtuosity and a unique musical vision to his personal and imaginative interpretations of the piano works of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner.
