Premier - A Life in Dance

We have created a unique and multifaceted performance, as diverse and unparalleled as her iconic career. 

The intertwining of professional and private life, and the interplay of art, is illustrated with the help of the famous dancer’s husband, her son, an actor, and her daughter, a visual artist. Our contemporary dance images are prepared using a classical montage as well as with the help of songs by Iván Kamarás and Dóra Uhrik’s own poems. Anna Lovas’ paintings also play an important role in creating the atmosphere.

How she became familiar with dance as a child, how she became a dance artist and later a dance teacher, while starting a family; how she stayed with the Ballet Pécs for 65 years, how she became a founding member and ensemble leader... 

What was her secret? What fuels the passion that drives her? Is dance truly eternal love?

To visualise the course of her life, we use the changes of the four seasons. 

A duet betweenDóra Uhrik and Pál Lovas will crown the performance, featuring dancers of different ages.
