You begin, like all things that move
attentive to the moving,
you continue like attentiveness,
attend to someone else,
you continue like someone else,
performing for a third,
four of them now turn to you,
you barely seem to move.
Zoltán Halasi
I wonder what is the condition of a real encounter? The answer is of course very complex. But perhaps the most important condition is presence.
From the moment of birth everyone is present, paying attention to the surrounding, and following the inside processes. During our personal development it all becomes increasingly difficult, and complicated, as we are becoming aware of the world around us.
The piece tries to explore the issue of presence, by creating different ways of being present and experimenting with them.

Press quotes:
„Ami Réti Anna szólóit különlegessé teszi, hogy minden egyes alkalommal képes magát úgy formába önteni, hogy a személyes tartalomhoz megtalálja a megfelelő formát. Tartalmi-formai klisék távol állnak munkáitól, saját és másoknak készített koreográfiái mindig képesek meglepni eredetiségükkel és szellemességükkel.”
