Bits and Pieces is a collection of short dance works - solos, duos, trios - created by the American Joe Alegado with contributions from the guest dancers themselves. All creations are being constructed with the intention of bringing focus to the relationship between the creative output of the last 52 years, to the primary tools used as inspiration throughout that period of time - the hand gesture.

Compared to Swan Lake, the well-known version of the classical ballet, I wished to rephrase the piece from another aspect, in a different light. In my interpretation, Siegfried is a young man with a split mind, who is being held captive by the traumas of his childhood as a result of his relationship with his mother.

The Fitos Dezső Dance Company is careful to regularly stage dance theatre performances that consider the authentic transmission of folklore and the cultures of various historical Hungarian regions as their primary goal. Transylvania Express is a selection of Transylvanian dances and music. With this performance, we want to convey the message that traditional culture lives on in all of us who believe in the value of keeping tradition alive—because tradition defines our future!
