They share their own personal stories and memories of being in labour, including bodily functions, traumatic and euphoric events.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They try to turn everything inside out that happened to them in the unconscious realm: beyond closed eyes and beneath the skin. They use humor, powerful phisicality, words, images and sounds.To everyone that was ever born and is still alive.\/\/We don\u2019t remember how we were born, and we won\u2019t be able to tell the story of our dying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Giving birth is an equally elemental borderline event, outside real space and time \u2014 a rarefied experience.\u2018Giving birth is the most personal public matter, and The Symptoms (aka Hungary\u2019s most likeable contemporary dance company) manages to create a shared experience of what is deeply intimate and individual. They achieve this by means of articulated, as well as mute confessions, and through the universal language of dance. The four female dancers, one of them an expectant mother, and the choreographer, R\u00e9ka Szab\u00f3, reach back into their somatic knowledge of giving birth.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"T\u00fcnet Egy\u00fcttes: Burok - a t\u00e1gul\u00f3 id\u0151 \u00f6sszeh\u00faz\u00f3d\u00e1sai\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ECKVpCHwEkg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They go beyond their personal sphere and put their subject into a broader social context. Also, they touch upon the much disputed right to free birth. The performance features a spectacular production design. This, coupled with a splendid sense of humor takes us back to the origin of life through a dramaturgy similar to the process of labour. Rhythmic contractions expand real time and space. They guide us, the audience, deep into the realm of instincts and the subconscious; gradually preparing us for the traumatic, yet euphoric moment of release.\u2019 \u2013 said Orsolya B\u00e1lint, curator.<\/p>\n<h2>About <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesymptoms.hu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Symptoms<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The Symptoms is a 15-year old performance group constantly looking for new ways of expression, of making an impact and inspiring people think, feel and connect.
