Carmen at MÜPA

Tonight at MÜPA I saw Carmen (Bizet) as contemporary dance. It was Kecskemét City Balett Company. It was a completely  unique setup and the opening scen extraordinary. Oh how I would like to have a photo. The only disappointment was that Carmen was not that very very good as she should be. And I thought all the time about how great my favorite Alexandra would do in that role. But I got a favorite for this night – Nikolett Nagy. She was outstanding in her balanced complex movements related to music. There was also another dancer – the shortest and blond – have to ask about her name. The choreography made the audience breathless about how strong feelings were delivered from scene.
And I am impressed about the scene settings – unique and creative.

Next and also last on my program 2016 is the Nutcracker (for 2nd time) on Friday. Looking forward for sure! As you can see in the program link I have been busy about culture. Hopefully 2017 will be the same. I’ve already bought tickets for Dance festival and Spring festival. In between i have to go home too.

A New Dawn

A New Dawn

Peace – so far away! Painfully far away. What do we have UN for! A ”toothless” institution. It’s easy to get depressed listening to the news – as I do a lot. I don’t think there will be peace on earth. Ever! A dark sad truth – but reality. And the war also started in cyber when hacking the heart of democracy during a democratic  country’s election. Perhaps it will enen worse than it is now. I’m just realistic and view our world with open eyes.
Now I will join in and wish for … peace … as strong as I ever manage.

Once More

Just came home after an evening in Liszt Academy in Budapest. ”Bach Dance Suit” very innovative and creative. I was really in Bach mood today and let’s find out how I react to Louise Farrenc later this evening.

I find myself running towards the little river in the meadow valley. He was close and captured my hand. We entered a canoe and were brought quickly out in the stream. Still wonderful weather and intoxicating summer scents. Butterflies hovered and birds twittered.

he kissed her ear tip longingly
once more
and the river float a melody

Stars Signing

the soft breeze of  a breath
from you
I sneak into your arms
for eons of kisses

A bit hard today, I must say. Don’t know why. Some days it falls easy in place and some days are more difficult. Hard even to choose a photo 😉
But I don’t mind I’m happy anyway.

Easier to choose music – it will be with a lot of power 🙂
