Touch paradox

2024-01-20T18:00:00.000Z

Two people meet at a point. This point is now shared, this is where they meet. They touch. To be touched is to enter into some extraordinarily sensitive, intimate, deep state. In this moment something really important, something essential happens. Something inside is stirred, changed.

A new era begins in the life of man. The person involved is no longer objective. It is rather honest. And vulnerable. Touch permeates, grips one's being, one's essence, and gently or forcefully, but it takes over. Finally. Therefore, the responsibility is great for anyone who touches someone, be it physical, emotional, artistic or spiritual.

What can touch you: a hand, a piece of music, a film, a book, an idea, the sight of nature, a word, a smile or a look... What is a touch?

On a physical level, when two bodies touch, something is certainly touched, because we feel it. But what is touched? What meets what? Body meets body, or substance meets substance?

Matter is made up of atomic particles orbiting around each other, with a relatively vast space between them. An atom has proportionally more space than the sum of its atomic particles. When two bodies, two substances, meet, the atomic particles never meet, they just approach each other, while there is empty space between them. But what is there when we come together? What do we perceive when we don't touch? Empty space.

Touch is the space between us. A fugue between the tiles. Separating or connecting?

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.
