Critique on Hungarian State Ensemble’s new full length program entitled „Pannon Freskó”. This is a mixed review of the new work. While there was praise for the work („successfully attained the goal of presenting the Pannon fresco.... the members of the ensemble have aside from folkdance an amazing and rich movement culture...” etc), the main criticism here was, „no matter how beautiful, almost perfect...” (the author of this article) „didn’t find the cathartic experience– that shine from which one can go home self-assured, re-charged, full of joy....”, which he attributed to the „lack of folkdance and (therefore) lack of life” in the performance.
