Dance performance review: "497" is the title of a dance theatre collaboration between Arad Chamber Theatre (Arad, Romania) and Tabán Dance Ensemble (Békescsaba, Hungary). The production tells the story of a legend about four Romanian boys that set out in 1910 to walk around the world in hopes of winning a large sum of prize money at the end of their journey. Only one of four boys, Dumitru Dan or Demetre Dan finished the walk. The production uses folk dance to tell the story with minimal props and scenery. Directed by Farkas Tamás. Music by Gera Gábor. Review of the performance on October 7, 2022 in Iasi, Romania, by Kádár Elemér. Photos by Majnik Zsolt.
