The Szeged Contemporary Dance Company's most popular show to Carl Orff's well-known music, CARMINA BURANA
Carl Orff's monumental musical masterpiece came to life in 2000 as a spectacular dance theatre adaptation by the award-winning Szeged Contemporary Dance Company, which vividly captures the shared fears and joys of an imaginary barbarian community as they continue to fight for their own survival and humanity through mysterious rituals until their last breath.
Tamás Juronics
Dancer, choreographer, director
Tamás Juronics was born in Tata, Hungary, in 1969. After graduating from the Folk Dance Faculty of the Hungarian College of Dance Arts, he accepted Zoltán Imre's invitation to join the Szeged Ballet. He danced leading roles in major works, the most important of which was 'The Miraculous Mandarin' by the famous Hungarian musician Béla Bartók, also co-presented by Juronics. He began presenting his own choreographies in 1991 and became artistic director of the Szeged Contemporary Dance Company in 1993. He was one of the first to use contemporary dance elements in his choreographies, which were performed by professional dancers with great technical skills. By this time Juronics had become an internationally renowned master who had created over 70 choreographies including 'The Rite of Spring', 'Daphnis and Chloe', 'Stabat Mater', 'The Nutcracker', 'The Wooden Prince', 'Unisono-IX. Symphony', 'The Sleeping Beauty', 'Swan's Lake', 'Carmen', 'Carmina Burana' and many others. The careful combination of his story lines, clear and unified use of form and dramatic structure make his works inspiring. Spectacular staging, lighting, effects and music are also an integral part of his work. He has won numerous prestigious awards, even abroad, such as the "Best Creator" prize, the "Best Performer" international contemporary choreographer competition and Hungary's highest state prize, the "Kossuth Prize". Juronics began his successful career as a prose director and also became a popular choreographer, directing several musicals and operas in numerous theatres. He has directed 'Hoffmann's Tales', 'Rigoletto', 'The West Side Story', 'Traviata' and many others.
