Art is a niche to show, to discuss, to confront the illegal. It has the ability to separate it from reality. Thus, under the name of art, the taboo becomes legal. How does contextualisation work? How does the human brain work? How do we use it?

On the altar of art, we are free to do what we cannot always do in life. Therefore, the alibi of art is freedom. At the same time, the fact that the boundaries are so relative also means that one cannot find one's limits. You might as well kill yourself on stage, they're watching. It's all a matter of context, the brain extracts essential elements of reality from the context.

"We started working with Gábor on several levels. I'm interested in his own personal past history and his feelings in the present, his relationship to dance. I am interested in the expectations and stereotypical characteristics of the male gender, the male role and character in different life situations and dance styles. Or the use of verbally interpretable content related to the theme - film excerpts, stories, poems, songs."

The solo series is a platform for close collaboration between creator and performer. Thanks to the genre of the solo, the portrait of the artist is drawn in the dancer's stage presence and performance, thus the joint work of two creative entities can become a portrait of a particular dancer of the KET.
