PB2 Company: Lost Unity

Through the language of dance, a myth unfolds - one that reveals the pain of division, the longing for lost unity, and the unseen forces of power. Movements and bodies tell the story of how we became both free and captive at once. And a question lingers in the air: whose is the desire that drives us? The performance invites the viewer to deeper self-reflection and a reimagining of freedom through this very question.

Gradient Contemporary Ballet Debrecen: Fine Day

At the heart of Fine Day are real, personal stories from young dancers, reflecting their inner worlds and the challenges of the wider world around them. These narratives unfold against Gen Z előd’s electronic music. The title takes its cue from Jane’s 1983 song It’s a Fine Day, bridging the questions of the past with the realities of today. Themes of uncertainty, overstimulation, identity struggles, shifting norms, and technological transformation parallel the spirit of the 1980s—a time marked by experimentation, rebellion, technological advances, and Cold War tensions. The piece aims to capture some of Gen Z’s experiences and qualities today—resilience in navigating uncertainty, appreciation of diversity, empathy, and collaboration, and their enduring hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Music: Előd Abonyi
Director – choreographer: Edit Domoszlai

We draw the attention to the fact that we use strong light and sound effects in our performance!
