Eszter Salamon

Melodrama

  • Performance
English / 

The Hungarian dancer and choreographer tells the life story of Eszter Salamon, set to music by Terre Thaemlitz. In order to do so, she traveled to a village in southern Hungary to interview her 62-year-old namesake. She uses the video material shot there as the starting point to re-enact a biography marked by Hungary’s opposing political systems and the desire for individual independence.

Funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds, co-produced by Berlin Documentary Forum 2 (Berlin), far-festival des arts vivants (Nyon), Next Festival (Valenciennes). Supported by Le Kwatt and ONDA.
