'Woman, Body', National Dance Theatre Budapest, 23 May
What does a body carry within itself? What does a body remember? What does a woman’s body carry within itself? What does a woman’s body remember? What do women’s bodies from four different corners of the world carry within themselves? What do women’s bodies from four different corners of the world remember?

International co-production opportunities always increase artists’ creativity, especially when this is a long-term opportunity and not just a week or two. This is one the ways in which this creative project differs from others. The team of choreographers from four different parts of the world began working together in December 2013 in Chiangmai, Thailand, where a month-long series of rehearsals was followed by a working performance.

The second series of rehearsals, which also lasted for month, and the premierre are taking place in Budapest, in the National Dance Theatre. But the project doesn’t stop here! According to plans, another month of co-operative work will precede the Mexican tour, which will provide further opportunities for the re-interpretation of the piece.
