shareThree women sitting on a bench from dawn til dusk take the audience on a journey in time. They talk about dreams, personalities at turn of the century markets, medicinal herbs, young people in love, dancing goats and all sorts of entertaining things!
In Bahorka, Balogh Melinda, Horváth Sára and Kaszai Lili have developed their own style called ‘improvisational folklore theatre’. With music they tell stories, breaking down the borders between the stage and audience, taking the audience back to an old, yet somehow familiar world.
After several years of performing together, Csoóri Sándor Jr. ‘Sündi’ has now become Bahorka’s musical director. Szentimrey Zsófi’s beautiful graphics decorate the record cover. Fortunately they were able to hold the record release concert just before the most recent health restrictions were imposed.
Over the years the group has woven some beautiful music together to make this recording. They put poetry by Weores Sándor to music using elements of Hungarian and Balkan folk music, jazz harmonies and improvisation. It’s a play evoking past and present, village and city, child and adult.
