A duel of two males
BIKÁK
BIKÁK
About
Bikák is an energetic duel between two males. Set to Liszt’s increasingly exhilarating Hungarian Rhapsody no 2, the dancers challenge one another in a playful duet inspired by the spirit of a bullfight. As the intensity builds, the energy of what begins as harmless sparring escalates towards absurd acts of aggression.
