Description
This piece takes the spectators into a special space, where the venue is the world of imagination. An elusive existence in which the admired musical genius appears in the world of our time, where values are often incomprehensibly mixed. The choreographer and our ensemble approach the heritage of the world-famous son of our country with respect. Zachár startedhis career at the Budapest Dance Theatre, then worked with the biggest choreographers in the Netherlands. In the piece, the souls of the creators get connected across time and space.
"Lisztomania"is an expression by Heinrich Heine, which he used with some mockery in a newspaper article. He suggested that Liszt’s concert virtuoso career in the 1840s revoked abnormal reactions from his fans. Liszt was the first megastar to consciously build his image, performing a solo concert for the first time, where he was the only one to perform, turning the piano sideways, which had been backwards to the audience, and dazzled even his enemies with his fireworks-like virtuosity and deep feelings. But he did all this not for the sake of self-aggrandisement but to increase the power and the social appreciation of art. The choreographer and our ensemble approach the heritage of the world- famous son of our country with respect and pride.
