On the occasion of the International Dance Day, on
29 April the Playground, movement theatre performance - directed by
Bozsik Yvette, will be available all day on the theatre’s YouTube channel.
Playground is mainly inspired by a Kenneth MacMillan and
Niszinszkij choreography. The plot takes place on a playground where adults
play dressed in children’s clothing. It shortly becomes clear that it isn’t a
playground, but a mental asylum.
The peculiarity of the play consists in the work method
of Bozsik with the members of Figura Studio Theater: the structure of several
scenes from the play are improvised based on a pre-determined theme:
playground, beach, childhood and so on.
The
art of movement occupies a special place in the history of the Figura Studio
Theatre, the company from Gheorgheni has been performing regularly movement and
dance theatre shows since the 2000s, between 2006 and 2016 organized a dance
theatre festival, called dance.movement.theatre.
On 30 April, Thursday from 7 pm the Tót Family
can be watched on the Figura’s Facebook page. The performance, presented in
September, was staged by director Florin Vidamski, who lives in Germany.
During the suspention of school education, the play is recommended especially
for high school students.
The play examines the person forced into crisis by others
(well-meaning or unwittingly), and the process of the victim forming itself
through the concept couple “victim-hangman”. It’s the illusion of the happiness
and reaching an ideal, whatever small or huge this ideal is. It’s the parabola
of the need of sacrifice in that moment, when the dominant aggression –
determined by the war – starts to threaten the known human life’s scenery.
