"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves."
Carl Jung
The piece Sirius is inspired by Árpád Tóth’s poem From Soul to Soul, which portrays the challenges of connection using the metaphor of the vast distances between stars. The title refers to Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, symbolizing both the mystery of the distant unknown and a guiding beacon of hope. The piece examines the challenges of bridging distances, as well as the contrasts between light and darkness, while searching for an answer to Tóth’s poignant question:
“Is it Sirius that lies farther from me, or a companion—oh, who can tell?”

At the heart of Fine Day are real, personal stories from young dancers, reflecting their inner worlds and the challenges of the wider world around them.
These narratives unfold against Gen Z előd’s electronic music. The title takes its cue from Jane’s 1983 song It’s a Fine Day, bridging the questions of
the past with the realities of today.
The piece aims to capture some of Gen Z’s experiences and qualities today—resilience in navigating uncertainty, appreciation of diversity, empathy, and collaboration, and their enduring hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Through This Poring Rain is a contemporary dance piece inspired by the raw emotional clarity of Anne Clark’s spoken-word art and the stark sonic landscapes of Kraftwerk. The work explores isolation, memory, and resilience, set against an ever-shifting urban rhythm
"The word “liminal” comes from the Latin limen, which means “threshold”. A liminal space is a doorway, a place of transition. This is the sacred space where old and familiar structures can fall apart, and there is a world ahead of us that we cannot yet see. It is neither here nor there. We are thrown between where we have come from and where we are going."
Created for the graduates of the BA Contemporary Dance program at the Hungarian Dance University.
Showed in May, 2022, at the National Dance Theatre, Budapest.

Competitive plasticity refers to fact that the brain is adaptive — it self-organizes, meaning that if exercised appropriately it can adapt and change depending on individual needs.
Created for Rambert's Choreographic Platform in 2018, showed also in Resolution Festival.
Inspired by the lyrics of "Before you snap" track written by Yonderboi:
"I have to meet god. I want to ask him a few things.
For example what is our purpose. Because we build our houses, raise our children, harvest our wheat, fight wars, kill each other.
But for what end?
And well, I want to ask him also about my life. I want to find out the truth."
