"compelling dancer to watch” by Josephine Leask - Resolution 2023 

Once Upon a Time is a solo work rooted in the rural experience of growing up queer in the southern plains of Hungary. The performance works with storytelling as a choreographic engine: memory, fantasy, and embodied image-making fold into one another, allowing the body to shift between tenderness, humour, and urgency.

Rather than offering a single linear narrative, the piece builds a felt landscape—where personal history becomes material for movement, and where the stage becomes a site for re-imagining belonging, desire, and survival.

“ When it’s not on us, Attila Andrasi’s intense focus rests on a red football centre stage. A symbol of his childhood, it means more to him than we can imagine. Andrasi dedicates his luscious moves to this object as he transitions between different, emotionally charged choreographic states. At first, in serious somatic practitioner mode, he follows complex linear pathways, that both disconnect and reconnect him to the ball. But the object inspires a lighter side too as his liquid, virtuosic practice morphs into a deliciously camp disco dance. Playfully throwing the ball to members of the audience, Andrasi further forges his strong connection with us making him a compelling dancer to watch.”   by Josephine Leask - Resolution 2023
