The Grecsó Brothers and the Dancers of Willany Leó
A Message from Our Father
The Grecsó brothers have been telling stories together on stage for more than a decade, bringing the past and their shared stories to life through the languages of literature, music, and dance. Their collaboration is based on the idea that literature can inspire jazz and contemporary dance.
Their joint work has taken many forms over the years, but this latest performance may be their most complete yet. The selected texts by Krisztián Grecsó once again come as a surprise to those present on stage, but this time they are interpreted by the artists of the Willany Leó Improvisational Dance Theatre: six dancers and two musicians responding in the moment. The company, founded and led by Zoltán Grecsó for the past sixteen years, supports collaboration among contemporary dance artists, exploring the possibilities of free improvisational dance and promoting the “instant” potential of self-expression.
The task is especially fitting: Krisztián Grecsó’s latest novel, A Message from Our Father, is his most personal book to date, and the artists of the company now breathe new life into it on stage.
