The Hungarian National Dance Ensemble visited South Korea
In the Gangnam district of Seoul, the pub was opened
Last year, the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble invited one of South Korea's largest dance groups, the Mutdance Company, to our country, which was the first Korean company to participate in the program of the 10th International Theater Olympiad. As a continuation of this - and on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries - the Hungarian ensemble traveled to South Korea in the second half of September to give a taste of the Carpathian basin dances. At the end of their tour, they presented their folklore show on the outdoor stage in front of the Coex center in the Gangnam district, in the shadow of the skyscrapers, which included legendary csardas, Transylvanian Hungarian and gypsy dances, the glass girl dance, and one of the world's most virtuoso male dances, the légénys.
A treasure smuggled into people's hearts
- I consider it my mission to keep our folk culture alive, to apply our dances to the stage - said Vincze Zsuzsanna Zsuráfszky, who was awarded the Kossuth Prize. The professional leader of the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble has several decades of creative work behind him. In addition to his work as a folk dancer, teacher, choreographer and manager, he has been writing scripts and text books for dance plays and stage plays for more than twenty years. For recognition, it is also a time of reckoning.
