Four Seasons
CENTRAL EUROPE DANCE THEATER | MACIEJ KUŹMIŃSKI
Maciej Kuźmiński's Four Seasons is a celebration of life depicted in a caleidoscope of images, unraveling in a mesmerizing and complex dance composition. Created for the company of seven dancers of Central European Dance Theater, the oldest dance theater in Hungary, the work brings on stage the most characteristic elements of Kuźmiński's choreographic style, together with new endeavors into re-intepreting Folk tradition. In it's ever-morphing structure, danced to the music of Steve Reich, Four Seasons weave Nature and Culture, re-birth and return, becoming a wider metaphor for life as flux.
Four Seasons marks a new direction in Maciej Kuźmiński's work. What the choreographer calls the intricate morphing structures is a venture into structured and complex compositional body of work. Each section of the piece is woven into another section, creating an unending flow of images, that morph into a one stage experience.
Four Seasons takes this into a scale never before explored by Kuźmiński, offering the most complex work that he has ever created.
