PÉTER NÁDAS > MEETING

October 9 | 19.00
Bárka Theatre – Studio

“It is not the story that interests me in the theatre. And I am not interested in the so-called thoughts either. They are the domain of literature and philosophy. What interests me in the theatre is the system of relations that arises between the living bodies. The movement of the living body. Which, of course, always tells some kind of story and a thought may also be squeezed out of the story.” It is as though the performances created by Krisztián Gergye, also known as a choreographer and dancer, transplant into practice the theatrical ideal of Péter Nádas. His latest production turns the spotlight on Péter Nádas’s drama trilogy [Cleaning–Meeting–Burial]. The second and third pieces of the trilogy are staged in two different performances, but the interpretation is based on the entire trilogy. Meeting is presented in the Bárka Theatre in a purely prose form but with live musical accompaniment and makes extensive use of the means of mime theatre.

A joint production of Bárka Theatre, Budapest Autumn Festival, MU Theatre and Krisztián Gergye Company.

PÉTER NÁDAS > FUNERAL

October 17 | 19.00
MU Theatre

For his latest production Krisztián Gergye, one of the most versatile figures of contemporary Hungarian movement art has chosen the Péter Nádas drama trilogy [Cleaning–Meeting–Funeral] and has staged the second and third pieces of the trilogy in two separate but integrally related performances. Meeting and Funeral can be seen in two different venues in a joint performance by the Bárka Theatre, the MU Theatre and his own company. Mime and dance play a big part in both, also evoking the first piece of the trilogy. But of the two it is Funeral that uses mainly body language. “There will be an Actor and an Actress on the stage,” writes Krisztián Gergye, “in the roles of two dancers, but they barely speak at all. We follow the instructions the author gave for Meeting: that the performance should be accompanied by three musicians, but this can only be achieved if there is harmony between the acting and the musical construction. We will apply this conception to Funeral, but we reverse the relationship: the text of the drama will be the musical material of the »dance performance«.”

A joint production of MU Theatre, Budapest Autumn Festival, Bárka Theatre and Krisztián Gergye Company.
