Trace II represents four separate but not entirely unconnected conditions of the human self in search of its identity.
Mennono sees us diving into a mysterious, blue universe, with movements inspired by the art of Butoh. The gestures unfold in an almost imperceptible way, fusing movement, architecture and sign language of the deaf and dumb.
Through the endeavour to grapple with and escape from binds that confine the body, the works demonstrate how energy and adrenalin allow for the liberation of the soul.

“Pál Frenák knows how to capture the attention of his audience, creating a sometimes strange, emotional and captivating environment - surrounded by magnificent dancers - in every sense of the word."
