Paris-based, Hungarian choreographer Pal Frenak will bring his show ‘Tricks and Tracks’ back to the Trafo for another quick run in Budapest. The piece, which premièred here about a year ago, uses dance to look at the way we speak with our bodies. Frenak’s dancers use the international sign language for the deaf, and also explore more subtle aspects of body language. The piece has surrealistic elements, which may be why pictures by Salvador Dali and graphic artist Henri Michaux were chosen for the background.
