At the end of January, the Bekecs Dance Theatre from Nyárádszereda will come to Sfântu Gheorghe with two guest performances. Their production for adults - a folklore performance entitled "Inherited by Dance" will be presented on Wednesday, 29th of January at 7 pm at Háromszék Dance Studio, and the next morning the children's performance "Beautiful New World" will be staged there.
INHERITED BY DANCE
folklore performance
The folklore performance "Inherited by Dance" is an authentic wandering among the representative settlements and dialects of the Carpathian Basin. The performing artists offer a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural heritage of the dancing, singing and musician masters, using their distinctive styles and the aesthetic value of their movements. The performance evokes the typical dance moods of the Southern Plain, Felcsík, Gheorgheni, Satu Mare, Méhkerék, Szilágyság, Sóvidék and Kalotaszeg.
The creators believe in the power of passing on traditions and the benefits they bring; they believe that only by thoroughly learning about the past can we get a better grip on the future.

BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD
- dance theatre reflections on a better world, not just for children -
The Universe is powered by two powerful forces, one is love, the other is fear.
In fear there is never love, in love there is never fear.
If you accept this and live by it, you may be happy.
All true religions in all ages teach this.
It is up to you.
For sure there are those who think that the increasingly high temperatures and extreme weather are not part of a trend. But those who live with nature can see that something has inevitably started. And we can waffle that climate change will be our grandchildren's problem, but no, it's ours now. And the decision is ours whether to bury our heads in the sand or face our own responsibility.
The hero of our story, Bumburnyak, was exiled to Earth from the planet Idill. To return to his family he must perform three good deeds. The mission succeeds but the little elf never returns. He feels he has work to do: to help people understand our responsibility not to waste nature's treasures. For as we treat each other, so is our world.
The performance has a language that children can understand and relate to, about environmental awareness, alienation, waste and carelessness. Through dance and theatre, it holds up a mirror to us, so that we can look into it and see the outlines of a brave new world.
