The performance is the play of six young flowers: they close up, open up, talk to each other – this is the minimalistic „canon dance”, that is characteristic of Góbi’s choreography.

“Although there are six people on stage, they don’t really dance with each other – yet there is a kind of natural force that keeps the whole composition together. Just as in nature, the snapdragon-girls go through a slow unfolding that progressively turns into wild and boisterous blooming. This, according to the choreographer’s concept, is what connects them with human nature as well: just like snapdragons, people tend to sometimes open then close up, shine then wilt. Wouldn’t it be great to preserve some of that playfulness that these flower-girls bring to the stage as well?” /Léna Megyeri – Színház/
