Stravinsky, Gluck, Mozart… Three influential composers meet through choreographies created to their music in this programme for fans of classical music and ballet. Firebirds is a recent production focusing on female instincts with an ironic, grotesque undertone created to the music of Stravinsky by Marianna Venekei. Thierry Malandain’s Don Juan presenting an old topic from a new point of view with music by Gluck is also a recent addition to the company’s repertoire, whereas two audience favourites, Petite mort and Six Dances by Jiří Kylián accompanied by Mozart’s melodies also return to the stage.
Marianna Venekei / Igor Stravinsky
“Women innately find their own amorous nourishment like birds find seeds or fish. Driven by their instincts, they hover over lakes, river, seas and plains and then after complex swirling and circling manoeuvres, suddenly swoop down all at once and strike. At such times, their instincts and eyesight are both made marvellously evident. They very rarely miss, and it only infrequently occurs that the victim is stronger or more clever and able to slip out of their beaks like a tadpole from a gull’s bill. Then they squawk, just like a seagull, and soar upwards, hovering, circling, tirelessly and alertly.” Quoting this slightly ironic passage from Sándor Márai is Marianna Venekei, the choreographer of the new ballet Firebirds, based on the wonderful music of Igor Stravinsky.
At the beginning of the preformance the quote from Sándor Márai’s Füves könyv is read by actor László Sinkó.

Jiří Kylián / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Jiří Kylián has always admired Mozart; over the course of his career, he has created a number of choreographed to the composer's music, including one from 1991 that paid homage to the genius of the 200th anniversary of his death. Featured in this uniquely atmospheric ballet are six women, six men and six swords. In addition to the weapons, other props include black, baroque-style clothing and bizarre crinolines. The symbolic image in the dance piece presents a world where aggression, sexuality, silence, music, vulnerability, interdependence and eternal human beauty exist together in their own sense of poetry. This ballet from the choreographer's mature period is characterised by daring visuals, superb dance performances, elegance and style and has featured in the Hungarian National Ballet's repertoire since May 2013.
Jiří Kylián / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
"I've decided that I cannot simply create a dance series reflecting the composer's sense of humour and music genious. Instead, I've choreographed six visibly confusing scenes..." (Jiří Kylián)
In Kylián's ballet, Mozartian playfulness and absurd reality are transplanted into the language of movement. It was not a story that he set out to create, but rather a dance piece constructed out of the absurd situations encountered by heroes in powdered wigs who sometimes act irrationally and awkwardly: the very dictionary definition of the word "burlesque". From the first moment, the eight dancers take the stage like they are stepping out of a wax museum from Mozart's own era, and then the innovative freshness and dizzying dynamic of the choreography makes them ever more modern: timeless heroes of Kylián's absurd creative world.
Hogyan kérhetjük számon a Blaha aluljáróban pókember önzetlenségét, vagy egy szamuráj erkölcsi kódexét? Pest vármegyén Völgyzugoly szokásait? Ismerős a helyzet abszurditása? Nem véletlen. A világirodalom egyik legizgalmasabb magányos hőse ihlet minket, egy szélmalmokkal, és a valódi bűnnel szembeszálló szent fantaszta, az igazság groteszk bajnoka. Hogyan reagál a társadalmunk egy alig hetven kilós önjelölt huszárezredre? What would Kinizsi do?
The world premiere of László Dubrovay's dance drama Faust, the Damned took place at Müpa Budapest in 2016, as part of the Budapest Spring Festival. This large-scale production inspired by Goethe's masterpiece debuted on the main stage of the National Theatre of Pécs in the 2023/24 season, and will run again in 2024 at Müpa Budapest's Festival Theatre.
This two-part concert will present the finest and most diverse aspects of the Belgian jazz scene. The Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Belgian's leading big band, will be uniting its powers with the superb saxophonist Philip Catherine, outstanding guitarist Bert Joris and the distinctive singer David Linx to wow the audience as they perform a programme compiled especially for the Bridging Europe festival.
