Talking Bodies Collective

THE SYMPTOMS is an independent contemporary dance and theater company performing since 2002 under artistic director and choreographer Réka Szabó, a mathematician by trade. The company’s pieces are thought-provoking and dramatic while being liberating as well as marked by a certain ease, an almost child-like sense of abandon. Comprised of actors and dancers, the troupe relies on all of its members as creative collaborators in their own right, each show building heavily on the distinctive personality and imagination of the performers. The Symptoms refuse to obey generic boundaries, treating text, movement, music, visuals, and technology-intensive special effects as equal components in the whole.

 

LOOP – two dives into the self

Loop is a spiral dive into the deep through the body and mind of two dancers. Dániel Szász leads us on an expedition into the unfathomable sea of instincts to chart the hidden corners of the human psyche, whether habitable or hostile. Dóra Furulyás offers an off-beat exploration of the innermost fears, expectations, and hangups we are all familiar with. Can we emerge victorious and reborn from the ever-deepening circles of introspection as we dive into our selves? Or are we damned to eternal cycles of fruitless self-scrutiny?
