On the Road - Sivasakti Kalananda Dance Theatre
Since time immemorial, since the world has been the world, the question has always been the same: where, from where, to where and why? From where, where is the world going, from where, where is the soul going, where do we come from and where are we going? These elementary, yet difficult to answer, mysteries were as much a concern for the poets of ancient India as they were for the Hungarians translating, interpreting and processing their poems and philosophical texts.
Schedule
Poetic giants such as Lőrinc Szabó and Sándor Weöres interpreted the mood and profound wisdom of ancient Indian texts with extraordinary sensitivity.
The piece is composed of vivid images of moments of an inner journey. The texts come to life and become dance on stage.
On the Road is an Indian dance journey from somewhere, to somewhere...
"the god is alive, the god is Your Soul:
This is the reality that has no death,
this is everything, this light vapour:
This is You..."

National Dance Theatre
On 15 February 2019, Budapest's unique new cultural arena opened its doors: the new National Dance Theatre in Millenáris Park. The building, equipped with the latest theatre technology and featuring unique architectural solutions, offers two theatre halls and a chamber hall for dance lovers, as well as rehearsal rooms for professional dancers. The foyer of the building will also become a community space open to visitors to the park, giving Millenáris the opportunity to become even more part of the capital's bloodstream.
