The Great War represents one of the most traumatic episodes in Hungarian history. The marks of remembrance - in the form of imposing memorials and statues - are there to be seen in almost every Hungarian town and village. Everywhere the fallen are remembered by name. On the centenary of the outbreak of war, we would like to once again awaken the memory of the victims and fallen heroes. Hungarian lyric poetry of the period dealing with the theme of war is an important element of this dance perfor...mance, both in terms of experiencing and documenting the horrors of war through the power of art. Wartime diaries from the trenches and the recollections of soldiers from the front line add a genuine shudder of excitement. It is by evoking these terrible memories, too, that we bear witness in dance to the war that defined the lives of our grandfathers. For we recall the fallen, the men and the land we lost. We have put a lot of heart and love into this dance performance, which we recommend to the older generation who understand more than we do about the suffering of war. But we also recommend it unconditionally to young people, for whom knowledge, through the arts, of the awful world of war - though now a part of history for them - makes the values and joys of the peacetime we live in today so much more precious.
