Choreographer: Ágota Aranyos Pantomime master: Zoltán Tarcsa The objective of the Garabonciás Ensemble is to enrich children’s culture, to keep alive important historic dance traditions and to popularise them. Their dance theatre productions are spectacular fusions of historical dance brought to life from original sources and pantomime play. The colourful period costumes only add to the experience. The ensemble, which has been awarded the “FORD European Cultural Heritage Award” has enjoyed m...any successful performances outside Hungary and contributed to historic dance attaining greater popularity among the young. Their dance performances evoke the worlds of early Hungary, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque period, but ancient pantomime and Reform period dance fashions are also evident. This jubilee performance presents a selection from the most successful performances by the Garbanciás children’s ensemble over the past two decades. In their dance drama The Beautiful Helen’s Story, based on the poem by Mihály Vörösmarty, we learn about the romantic adventures of King Matthias – this is how Garabonciás celebrates the “Year of Renaissance”. In the second half of the show, former dancers and pantomime artists from the group take to the stage in their former roles of the premières. We can enjoy again extracts from the programme Medieval Fair and from their piece Tales of La Fontaine set to the music of Lully, two Baroque dance pieces.
