Declaration of Independence is a solo performance by Kata Juhasz, Hungarian dancer and choreographer, which is articulated in verbal speech and movements simultaneously in a short personal reckoning with some historical outlook on the possibilities of an authentic artist willing to preserve her independence in a politicized public life on the shifting borderline of the EU.
Kata is a Budapest-based dancer, choreographer, teacher, and physician who has been performing throughout Europe since 1996. Her works have been funded by Summa Artium, the National Cultural Fund, and The Ministries of Human Capacity of Hungary.
Her performance will be accompanied by bassist, composer, producer, and educator Alexis Cuadrado of Brooklyn, NY. He has released six albums as a band leader, composed for many venues, and is on the faculty of the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. He has composed works for films, podcasts, NPR, and many other performances throughout his career. We are indeed fortunate to have these internationally known artists coming to Minneapolis.
Declaration of Independence will be preceded by Sleeping Giant, a new piano composition by Maura Bosch performed over a video projection of photographs on lumbering and mining on Minnesota Native lands by Vance Gellert. Jim Lenfesty will read his poetry.
