.......TRAnsition FIctive Theatre.....

Homeless writer Ödön von Horváth is interested in an individual described primarily in his physicality. TRAFIC is interested in the same. The world of von Horváth is just a starting point for TRAFIC developing of its own imaginative space in the show. DANCEUROPA opens the questions of individual and the masses, differences and similarities, existential insecurity and moulted identity, belonging to set normatives and escaping to illusion. Moving and repeating, not happening and silence dramaturgy represent permanent attempt of changes. The title describes an association complex. DANCEUROPA. In tree quarters tact. Only for those who can follow. Because body remains the only home and the fate is the only premiere.
And the theatre is just the place of measured appearances.
