In Taberna is a true medieval feast in dance steps on the fascinating music of Zoltán Arany – The last of the troubadours. The performance presents the atmosphere full of cheer of a medieval tavern, which beside being a place for getting together and having fun, develops into the scene of intense conflicts.

Once Upon a Time... Now! A Renaissance Dance Performance for Contemporaries tries a modern approach of Renaissance dance, in order to bring it closer to the present-day public. Seasoned with surprising, many times even comical moments, the performance is centered around the contrast between two worlds, between past and present. This contrast is evident from the costumes to the sound, from the lifestyle to the dance steps, from the surroundings to the way of looking at life...
Still, the two worlds have something in common, the gap between them is still not insurmountable...Choreography: Juhász Csilla
Spectacolul a fost prezentat la Cluj-Napoca în 13 decembrie 2010, ora 19.00, Cercul Militar.

Music and dance from the period of W. Shakespeare
A collage of three tales taken from the plays The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Much Ado About Nothing, with the music of John Dowland, Thomas Morley, Robert Jones, or even Henry VIII and their contemporaries from the Continent. In the choreography signed by Juhász Csilla, period dance steps were combined with original movements, danced in solo or in groups, while the fresh vision of director Gombár Annamária added harmony and humor to a performance in splendid period costumes, which could appear with success even in the repertory of the Odeon and Bulandra Theatres, within the programs dedicated to music and dance.

Muzicians: Ensemble Flauto Dolce (Zoltán Majó – artistic director, Szabó Mária, Tóth Ágnes) and guests: Mihaela Maxim - soprano, Erich Türk, Naphegyi Béla - bass, Fülöp Mária - harpsichord.
This performance was presented in Miercurea-Ciuc (July 13, 2008, the Court of the Mikó Castle) within the Early Music Festival and in Cluj-Napoca (May 23, 2009, Tranzit House) in the course of the Early Music Festival at Cluj-Napoca.

The narrator of this tale is a man knowing his way around the world, a poet with experience in the affairs of the heart. He relates a story from the court of a rich nobleman: the tale of the enamored courtesan. Camilla, the beautiful courtesan, is supported by the old and rich Polidoro, who decides to give a ball in her honor. Among the guests we find Pantalone, the Spanish Knight, the Lady-in-waiting, as well as Camilla’s friends. Pantalone and the Spanish Knight would like to have their share from the beautiful courtesan’s charms, and can hardly wait to catch her alone. With the help of his servant, Zanni, who writes a false invitation from the Royal Court, Pantalone succeeds in removing Polidoro out of the way. The separation between Camilla and the old man is dramatic, but as soon as the lord of the house is gone, the girl starts inspecting the guests…
