Artus Stúdió, Budapest

In 1997 Artus founded its artistic laboratory for contemporary arts. In a huge factory building about 30 dancers, choreographers, actors, set and costume designers, composers, painters, architects and sculptors are working. They do not only share the space but also help, inspire each other''s work breaking the boundaries between the various branches of arts, looking for ways of collaboration. ''The ?presence? (being vigilant in the moment, looking onto the past, future and the world of dreams from there) is the basis of not only our theatre but also my whole concept of life. The images and happenings are all analogies to a central theme that comprise the future possibilities and the interpretation of the past as concentric circles. These analogies are not separate from one another but all add up to the present, to the presentation of the ?phenomenon?. Time is nothing but the illusion born from the chain of our states of consciousness, it does not exist.
