"I believe that it is they and those like them that, little by little, can lead a broken society in the right direction as it wonders in confusion.” (Ferenc Kiss)
Ferenc Kiss, founder of the Vízöntő Ensemble, released his concept album in 1999 to mark the melancholy conclusion of a century and the visionary start to a new millennium. The work represents an exciting summary of the contemporary usefulness of what we have learned from folk culture, and a modern reinterpretation of its tools o...f expression. Unified in its content yet spanning several genres, the music also inspired the idea to create a dance event of the same name.
Based on a sense of moral duty, the songs at once speak of those value systems and people that have defined the personality of the Carpathian Basin for centuries, but also make plain the oppressive reality of how these are being "liquidated” from our everyday lives by mass communications. With this in mind, the dance evening was created with a clear educational purpose, primarily addressing the young people living in our region who are on the brink of "breaking” with their cultural identity. Their future, their choices of career and location make it simply impossible to ever return to the intellectual sources mentioned. Among its other aspirations, it was to replenish these motivations and to reawaken interest that this production was created.
