CSAJOK (Credo Hysterica) - 2004

 
Women on stage, in both real and unreal worlds

On stage the rituals of “Csajok”, which are displayed through the movements of the dance, lead us into hitherto unseen regions of unconsciousness. The image and understanding of ourselves is built from archetypal foundations inherited from the species as well as those that society imposes on us. This is an understanding that we are constantly at odds with, something we constantly fight in our unconscious life. Idealized, projected images, visions and dreams are the elements that, either real or imagined, grow inside ourselves and very often the lines between them are blurred.

Csajok attempts to illustrate this process; it attempts to give form to the process whereby dreams can become clearer, made more intense or even become more confused. Whatever the outcome the piece aims to show that dreams, like cream, always rise to the surface owing to their essentially lawless and individual nature.

Csajok or the “Credo Hysterica” is a sunk and forgotten world, an ethereal system that continually rebuilds and reinvents itself and leads us to modern life. The piece is played out in a setting where the invisible is given substance and where physical rules have disappeared, the “Credo” is an unknowable space, complete with its own traditions, and its desire for new rituals.
