Rita Góbi's new performance presents the intermediate state of "gone already" and "not there yet", by guiding us through the world of metamorphosis. Dávid Szegő composed the music for this production by using Morse code signals and noise sounds, both acoustic and electronic, which serve as points of orientation for the minimalist dance performance and absolute stage presence.

REVIEWS

“It is hard to talk about Góbi’s performance without talking about her, as Rita Góbi and her performance are one and the same.” Márta Péter, Tánckritika 

“Rita Góbi's explosive solo dance is filled with subtle associations: it is not hard to discover a futuristic interpretation, a kind of science-fiction remake of the Dying Swan: but instead of soft and lyrical tunes, it is performed to Dávid Szegő's harsh, repetitive and robotic noise sounds.” Tamás Halász, Színház 

GÓBI DANCE COMPANY

Rita GÓBI is a dancer, choreographer and dance teacher, who is constantly exploring the styles and languages of dance. Born in Novi Sad, Serbia, she studied at the Regular Ballet School in Novi Sad and later at the Hungarian Dance Academy in Budapest. She has participated in various international dance workshops and residency programs, such as the US-based OMI DANCE Residency and the VARP residency at SE.S.TA-KoresponDance, supported by the International Visegrad Fund. Rita started her career working with Hungarian-based dance companies (Ballet Pécs, Yvette Bozsik Company, Réka Szabó’s Company - The Symptoms, Natural Art Disasters, Éva Duda Company and L1 Dance Association) and with film director Miklós Jancsó. In 2006 she founded the Gobi Dance Company. She regularly holds workshops in Hungary and abroad.

Her choreographies are based on intuition and experimentation, made up of precisely constructed repetitive, miniature movements and grotesque, distorted elements that slowly and consistently transform body and state. She toys with her body parts, loves the minimalism and physicality of the body as well as its extremes. Her creative method is analytical, futuristic, and tight. Góbi's performances are always based on personal experiences and are often accompanied by live music or by artists from other non-verbal art fields.
