The Story: It’s the night before the 2016 Presidential election and young Cody Weber has taken a purity pledge with his conservative fiancé. No sex until they are married – but that doesn’t keep him from visiting an Internet chat room where he meets an attractive young model named Amanda. Overcome by guilt, Cody can’t go through with the encounter but is shocked when Amanda “appears” in his apartment. His roommate, Kyle, is thrilled that his best friend is back to his old self and after a night of laughter and revelation, the prospect of a threesome becomes hard to resist. Is Amanda an apparition or real? Regardless, Cody knows he has a life-changing decision to make.

This stage version of the classic Danish film is about an explosive family celebration. Patriarch Helge Klingenfelt is celebrating his 60th birthday with his family at a magnificent old hotel in the Danish countryside. Gathered together are his loyal wife Elsa, his daughter Helene, and sons Christian and Michael. As the evening progresses Christian feels compelled to break the silence surrounding a dark family secret. The effect is explosive and sets the tone for a celebration no one will forget. This dramatization by David Eldridge is based on the Dogme film and play by Thomas Vinterberg, which deals with similar themes of repercussions of child abuse and a family’s collusion in denial that finally implodes.

The premier of the new joint production of ExperiDance and the National Dance Theatre is based on the epic comedy of János Arany. It is a two act dance performance, full of poetry, humour and dynamic choreography, that will even surprise the audience, who has come to know and enjoy the style of the dance group.
Sándor Román continues the success of “One Thousand and One Years” and taking it a step further by combining the motives of Hungarian folk dance and folk music, with many unknown elements of gypsy folklore, that are connected to the story itself.
The epic poem of János Arany (that was written in 1852 as a parody of the war of independence) is based on a true story:
At the end of the 17th century the Austrian troups led by General Puch assult the castle of Nagyida. When the Hungarian defenders, led by Captain Perédi, recognized their lack of power, food, and munitions, they escaped from the castle, leaving the gypsies with their leader Csóri to defend the castle. The elated hero gypsies celebrate with a big feast and dance, dreaming about glorious victory and good fortune. The story is told in two acts of humor and sweeping dance for our entertainment.
Interesting information: this show was 5 weeks with great success in Teatro Neuvo Apolo Madrid.

ExperiDance brings to life authentic folk dance traditions by mixing them with modern, eclectic dance elements enabling the current generation to identify with traditional roots. The Company’s creations move beyond impressive technical execution and also bear hallmarks of light humor and irony.
The grand-scale show STEEL presents The Legend of the Metal through history, demonstrating the role of the material in the development of humanity. The message of this international cooperation: Encounters of European countries and their cultures without borders. (Palace of the Arts)
About the music:
The main difference between previous pieces and STEEL is that while they are both built on Hungarian folk music elements, STEEL uses West-European sounds dominantly.
Symphonic themes are mixed with modern, contemporary sounds. The love theme, first introduced in the knight scene, becomes a love song performed by a singer by performance’s end. In the Hungarian version the song was performed by Szilvia Péter Szabó who is known from the pop group NOX.
The humor and the storm of dance music are also evidenced. The most dynamic and dramatic music can be heard at the end of the first act, called Perpetuum mobile. This music is full of shocking melody and rhythmic turns which make the visual show more complete.
In the second act we experience more modern music trends, like hard rock music. We hear interesting and less used instruments like the Australian didgeridoo, or jew’s-harp.
The curiosity of the piece can be attributed to the sounds of folk instruments like the flute and goat-horn used by the composer. Additionally, amusing “songs” like the “Arabic Song” and the “Jail Song” are also enhanced through the choreography of Sándor Román.
In Bolzano you hear two live musicians, Matteo Rosetto (guitars) and Mario Punzi (drums), but in Hungary the use of Dolby Surround sound makes the show and the experience more complete and unforgettable.

Guitars: Zoltán Sipeki
Vocal: Adrien Fehér, Andi Jónás, Gábor Majsai, Imre Czomba, Sándor Román

Almost incredible but this year the Experidance Dance Company is only 10 years old.In last several years they could walk up to such genre heights and their performance could be seen to conquer on so levels and quantities that we can feel the Experidance trade name has been known for decades.In this case we can talk about a well-sounding trade name which has quarantined the quality and success right from the beginning. The Experidance along with Sandor Román’s about 30 years old professional career as a dancer, then as a director-choreographer – he produced this one decade-long success story – leaves iqueryable tracks in “Hungarian dance history-book”.
As a “Hungaricum”, the Company has lived more than 1300 full house shows and wins the palm on either inland shows or over the borders season by season. They is mentioned as the Ambassador of Hungarian Dance and had many tours far behind them in Spain, Turkey and China too.The biggest attraction of company’s history is going to provide “dessert” to the new and old spectators as well and the regular numbered ballet being completed doubly is going to appear on the scene with 40 members.The monumental repertoire steers the course of legendary “Ezeregyév” – Thousand and one year. Exclusively this evening the leading part will be danced by Sandor Roman again who can be proud of uncountable professional and state awards as an the company leader choreographer.On 15th of August a Gala Performance will be organized in Arena which will not only be a jubilee attraction of 10 years old Experidance but the feast of hungarian dance based on traditional values in the course of the conqueror company’s work.
