Rites – The newest performance of Szeged Contemporary Dance Company

The contemporary ballet piece choreographed by Tamás Juronics has been on at the Little Theatre in Szeged since 8 November 2013. The performance is a joint venture of Szeged Contemporary Dance Company and National Dance Theatre in this season.
It made an instant success at the 8 November premiere and was very successful in Budapest too. It has also been supported by MMA.
 
Rítus / Rite / Ritual
ballet in two acts
 
This piece is born of a renewed troupe; it is about community, about jointly developed rituals, about thinking together and creating together. Rituals keep communities together, inducing cooperation among their members. This piece will be an opportunity to forge unity. Fear and frustration can depict the human struggle for compliance in the most barbaric forms of expression. The two acts are somewhat opposed and at the same time complementary to each other. First wildness and human brutality, later humour, ironic and self-ironic composition characterise the piece.
