DESCRIPTION
The music by the magnificent composer, Carl Orff is already an extraordinary event! Carmina Burana by choreographer Tamás Juronics not only translate musical phrases into dance movements but also find images drawn from real life in the compositions. He depicts lively characters with their emotions, struggles, and existential dilemmas – figures so familiar to us because they are so similar to each of us.
This ballet evening is above all a psychologically rich theater, where movement and dance are – though fundamental – not the only means of expression. But certainly the most spectacular!

„We glimpse into the ritual-filled life of a human-like barbarian community struggling to survive on the ruins of a civilization, whose members struggle with their fears, guided by their instincts, and try to survive what fate throws at them. Fate, which sometimes brings them good, joy, love, sometimes sorrow and death. A girl, who was given a short life in the first place, can feel happy for a moment, the feeling of love that makes her forget all the bad things makes her believe that life can be different, more beautiful. But Fortuna is deceitful and cruel, she doesn’t care about the beauty of the moment. By experiencing disappointments, joys, and fears, they all learn more and more about themselves, their fate, their possibilities – their human nature.”
