Csaba Molnár was born in Lučenec (Slovakia) in 1986. He started his studies at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Accademy and continued in P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios, directed by Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker, Bruxelles) graduating in 2008. He has worked as a performer with Adrienn Hód, Eszter Gál, Wally Cardona, and with the Florence-based company Virgilio Sieni Danza. He is a funding member of the BLOOM! artistic collective, and he develops his interest as a choreographer independently as well as with the collective. In addition to his own works, he currently works for the Hungarian dance company Hodworks and teaches regularly at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy.
Csaba Molnár presupposes that he cannot really understand the revolution, or rather does not feel it. "I’ve never lived a revolution. I’ve seen some happen, but I’ve never lived one." That is why he enters the research into the base material as an aesthete, a creator. "I want the piece to mirror the dramaturgy of upheaval, the bubbling before the explosion, the rhythm of protest. We are translating the photos and images I found into the physicality of the dancers." On an abstract level: he offers the spectator images, associations, which are not politically determined but rather left to free interpretation. “We cannot talk about ’68 without freedom, the freedom of the spectator.” A dispersed man (Hungary- Slovakia – Belgium – Italy), Csaba takes an intimate approach to the theme, translating it into the public: into an analysis of the dramaturgy of upheaval, translated into the dynamics of group, dance and stage.
