Premiere: on the 07.09.2018
What defines holiness? (What sanctifies a place?) How does the concept of sanctity stand out in an urban setting?
"Safe house" is a performance which explores the level of influence the city and the church have on each other, whilst using movement and sound to juxtapose elements from both environments - in the very same way the inside of a church, in contrast to the suffocated city surrounding it, offers an oasis of sober tranquility. Are there other factors, besides the perceived rigorousness of a religion, in deciding whether something is holy or not?

"Plasticine"
Performers: Paulina Rewucka, Simona Štangová
Music: Voland Székely
Dance&drums project inspired by quote: "Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape". (William S. Burroughs)
What leads to desperation? Is it the repeated disappointments? To which degree is desperation a subjective state and when does it become visible to the outside world?
Does the term "drastic change" imply that the change is for the better? Also, when does one know whether "everything" has been left behind?
"Plasticine" explores the naivity of youth, with all its dreams and ideals, the novelty of life and the endlessness of one's own borders put into the grinder of cold-hard cynicism.
This project was presented on ROland Jazz Festival 2018 Sangeorz-Bai on the 26.07.2019 in Romania.
"Minor changE"
Concept: Simona Štangová
Dance: Simona Štangová, Roland Dandó
Music: Stefan Weissenberger, Hermes Riemer, Voland Székely
“Minor changE” is a project exploring minimal changes and their effect on one by art disciplines as music (sound) and dance (body) while translating the sense of changes to their language. This project provides to audience an opportunity to experience small changes within themselves and each other, while becoming more aware of their impact on one another, interrogating their understanding of a thing that one has given “its value” (definition) or never tried to “define”.
What is a small change and what are the limits of its concept? How can we perceive the process that is happening between change and its effect?
