Creature by Tanya Marquardt
Creature is a dance-theatre piece exploring Tanya Marquardt‘s transmasculinity through the Magyar (Hungarian) folk dance legényes and 18th century queer writer Count Sandor Vey.
Dramaturg: zavé martohardjono
Sound Design: Jaye Kovach
Scenography: David B Smith
An exuberant community dance that men perform with and for each other, Creature interlinks Tanya’s Magyar identity and genderqueerness, a conglomeration of dance, oral stories, writing, food, ethnography and queer history.
Special Thanks: Tender Container, the Grande Theatre, the Banff Centre for the Arts, Kris Nelson, Arts Quarter Budapest, Gergő D. Farkas, Balázs Oláh, and Julcsi Vavra.

Pieces of Stories Meet Pieces of Violins at a Gallery by Alessandro Magania
Memories of marginal characters from literature and stories, collected by recording friends and acquaintances, will be set to music equally fragmented, played on broken violins by Marija Kovačevič. In the context of the gallery these recounting of often blurred memories will be imagined as etchings of mysterious vignettes, deteriorated by time, displayed together. An assemblage of impressions of moments and characters that left an impression.
Created by Alessandro Magania
Performed by Alessandro Magania and Marija Kovačević
