November 16 to November 17, 2023 / 7:00 pm József Trefeli & Gábor Varga CREATURE schwere reiter, Studio
Biographically, ethnographically, aesthetically – in “Creature”, the choreographers József Trefeli and Gábor Varga approached the traditional Hungarian folk dance of their childhood from different perspectives and reinvented it. Props such as sticks, whips, masks and costumes made from recycled materials helped them. They were first deconstructed, then transferred to another purpose and brought to life anew. Folklore became ‘faux-klore’. Rhythmic, energetic and funny dialogues confront traditional with contemporary dance on a verbal level, revealing continuities and breaks. An energetic, gripping, self-ironic piece that was awarded the Swiss Dance Prize 2017 for contemporary dance creation in 2017.
József Trefeli and Gyula Cserepes perform at depARTures. József Trefeli is Australian with Hungarian roots. After his dance training at the University of Melbourne, he danced first in Geneva with Guilherme Botelho's company Alias, then with Cie Greffe, Drift, Utilité Publique, Philippe Saire and Da Motus! He founded his own ensemble in 2005. Gábor Varga was born in Ukraine to Hungarian parents and began his career as a folk dancer. He studied with P. A. R. T. S in Brussels and collaborated with renowned choreographers such as Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, David Zambrano, Michèle Anne De Mey, Mette Ingvartsen, Thomas Hauert, Gilles Jobin and Guilherme Botelho. The first joint work by József Trefeli and Gábor Varga entitled “Jinx 103” was created in 2011.
