A study of corporeality based on René Magritte's painting Lovers

Launched in 2013, the primary aim of the talent development and research programme is to improve the opportunities for young choreographers and to empower young choreographers. The Central European Dance Theatre has set out to develop a new strategy to continue working with the youngest artists. The IKF's open competition offers young choreographers the opportunity to create. The winners will have the opportunity to work with KET dancers for a week, followed by a public performance and demonstration in a theatre setting at the end of the week.

In January 2015, Julia Gyulai won the opportunity to present:

"I want to capture a state of mind, raw, honest, disturbing, yet tasteful. I would like to outline a relationship between two people that is still being lived and judged today in a way that is extreme: sexuality is still not, I think, something we can talk about openly. We either treat it as a taboo or we border on pornography. Neither is my aim. I'm trying to make an abstract representation of physicality, of sexuality..."

I recently thought that the bags on the figures in the painting could play a big part in the play. Because we need something to take off of us. And I started sewing bags with my mum..."
