Adrienn Hód is a unique and innovative creator of the Hungarian contemporary dance scene, well-known internationally. Her pieces, Basse Danse in 2012, Dawn in 2014, and Conditions of Being a Mortal in 2015, have been selected into the 20 most outstanding contemporary dance pieces by the European dance network Aerowaves. Her company Hodworks regularly appears at international festivals and theatres.
Her choreographies tend to deconstruct, destabilise, and re-build already existing dance structures. The focus of her work is the performer’s status, as related to extreme human states and verbal and physical expression. Hód’s performances challenge taboos, enriched with a robust but delicate humour: a radical study of the body, free of prejudice. She opens up a parallel reality, which is built up from the unconscious and the ecstatic. Her audience is attracted to a "grey zone" where "presence" dominates "meaning".
