Székesfehérvár Ballet Theatre: Stones

What motivated director/choreographer Attila Egerházi and his co-creators was the recognition that the horror of the Holocaust can be expressed with more than words, as the human body and its movements and gestures can also be employed to communicate it. Constructed from subtle elements, this production guides viewers into emotional depths that surpass verbal understanding, into a place where the past and present are intertwined. It is not simply accompanying music that Sándor Födő has composed for the work: instead his score leads us through the labyrinthine piece like an invisible dance partner.
