BUDAPEST

Born in Hungary, Flora Boros currently lives and works in Vienna. She studied dance at the Budapest Dance Theatre, later contemporary dance at MUK Vienna (ongoing) but also economics and computer science. She attended workshops with Andrej Petrovic (Akram Khan Dance Company) and Eldad Ben Sasson (Batscheva Dance Company) i.a., participated in various performance projects such as the "Salonparcours Hors Lits Wien" or Saint Genet's "A Modern History in a Continuous Present Portrait II". Winner of the Fidelio competition in the category Fidelio.creation.

In her dance performance fú|gá|lis, which is committed to minimalist principles, the artist follows a constant, uninterrupted circular movement pattern in absolute concentration and silence, inscribed in the square-shaped Lotz-hall. Images reminiscent of thousands of refugees who had to camp at the Keleti railway station at the peak of the refugee-movement in 2015 encounter the historicist neo-renaissance space, the centrifugal movement of the dancer meets the linear fluctuation of the crossing passers-by. 

Budapest Keleti railway station is the main international and inter-city railway terminal in Budapest. In 2015 the pictures of refugees waiting to move on towards Austria, Germany etc. were all over the international media. 

The PLACCC festival, organized by the Artopolis Association, supports site-specific performance and art in public space. The festival showcases work by both Hungarian and international artists.

PLACCC aims to shed new light on the city of Budapest and bring more colour and fun into the citizens' everydays.
