"Why did I think that we can create a choreography, a dance performance based on Madách's Tragedy? Is it possible to express the complexity and philosophical drama of the text through the combination of music-dance-movement-scenery-film or with a shortened version of the text, or are we dooming the play to failure like Lucifer's cold logic, denial and harsh criticism which seeks flaw in everything?" Könczei Árpád
The interactive children's performance will bring our folk heritage into the hearts of children with instrument demonstrations, folk song lessons and magic tricks.
In October dance theatre productions and folklore performances will be part of our programme, but we will not forget about children: they can meet Lúdas Matyi the Goose, and the Döbrögi couple during the Szeklerland Days.
The professional company of Sfântu Gheorghe, which has been operating for 34 years, will continue its activities as Háromszék Dance Theatre, a name change approved by the Covasna County Council - the institution's sustainer - at its last council meeting.
Together with the László Lajtha Foundation, we organized the dance houses in Sfântu Gheorghe this season as well. A total of 11 times young folk dance enthusiasts gathered to learn new dances and have fun to the music of Folker band and the Heveder orchestra.
Two premieres, six different performances in repertoire, Folk Dance and Music Festival, Meeting of Transylvanian Hungarian Professional Folk Dance Ensembles, instrumental demonstrations, performances outside the city, national and international tours, folk dance houses enriched our 2023/2024 season.
We will close the season with a varied programme: we will continue our children's production of Lúdas Matyi, we will have an instrument demonstration, and we have been invited to the ATELIER International Theatre Festival in Baia Mare.
The 18th Meeting of Transylvanian Hungarian Professional Folk Dance Ensembles (EHTET) will be organized by the Háromszék Dance Ensemble in Sfântu Gheorghe between 28-31 May 2024.
