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.
EHTET is an annual folk dance festival organised on a rotating basis each year by the six professional folk dance ensembles from Transylvania - the Harghita National Szekler Folk Ensemble, the Mures Art Ensemble, the Oradea Dance Ensemble, the Odorheiu Folk Dance Workshop, the Bekecs Dance Theatre and this year's host, the Háromszék Dance Ensemble.
During the festival, all six ensembles will present a performance to the audience of Sfântu Gheorghe, and at the end of the meeting they will perform together in a joint gala. The performances will be judged by a distinguished professional committee, including Tamás Farkas, Zsófia Horváth, Levente Kovács, Csaba Kutszegi and Zoltán Szalay, and the discussions will be moderated by Boglárka Prezsmer. The event will be both a dance festival and a professional forum, providing an opportunity to reflect on the current situation, problems and issues of Hungarian dance art in Transylvania. This year's meeting will be complemented by interesting and entertaining programmes: a photo exhibition, professional lectures and folk dance houses.
The programmes will take place at the Tamási Áron Theatre and the Háromszék Dance Studio. For detailed programme, ticket information and behind-the-scenes details please visit https://ehtet.hte.ro/.
