The evening takes its name from the French word “Reverie,” which describes a dreamy, contemplative, or reflective state.
Comprising two pieces, the program invites audiences into the world of desires and dreams, where the dancers explore the depths of human experience.
Act One: Sirius
The piece Sirius is inspired by Árpád Tóth’s poem From Soul to Soul, which portrays the challenges of connection using the metaphor of the vast distances between stars. The title refers to Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, symbolizing both the mystery of the distant unknown and a guiding beacon of hope. The piece examines the challenges of bridging distances, as well as the contrasts between light and darkness, while searching for an answer to Tóth’s poignant question:
“Is it Sirius that lies farther from me, or a companion—oh, who can tell?”
Act Two: Fine Day
At the heart of Fine Day are real, personal stories from young dancers, reflecting their inner worlds and the challenges of the wider world around them. These narratives unfold against Gen Z előd’s electronic music. The title takes its cue from Jane’s 1983 song It’s a Fine Day, bridging the questions of the past with the realities of today. Themes of uncertainty, overstimulation, identity struggles, shifting norms, and technological transformation parallel the spirit of the 1980s—a time marked by experimentation, rebellion, technological advances, and Cold War tensions. The piece aims to capture some of Gen Z’s experiences and qualities today—resilience in navigating uncertainty, appreciation of diversity, empathy, and collaboration, and their enduring hope for a brighter tomorrow.
