In memoriam Cseh Tamás

More than twenty years ago, Tamás Cseh, with his album entitled Katonadalok (Soldier Songs), set an unforgettable memory for our former great-grandfathers, the Hungarian soldiers who gave their young lives and blood for their homeland and common idea. Music and song remain in the shared memory, but dance only swirls like a vanished memory in the distance of the past, in the movements of the flesh-and-blood people of bygone times. In the performance we recall these movements, the messages of the past; and we bow to the Hungarian hussars, soldiers and infantrymen who gave their lives to the nation, who defended the Hungarian homeland and set an example for all generations to follow.
