Dávid Somló @PLACCC 2023

07 sept. > 09 sept.

Budapest, Hungary

with ‘Delicate Balancing of a Twig’

Delicate Balancing of a Twig is a movement meditation practice, where one is developing a highly sensitive and harmonious connection with a twig.

As one is balancing their special twig they can realise a growing delicacy in their movement, a very open and deep attention and presence, a sense of care to a light object, playfullness and self-reflection.

Practiced at public spaces it is both a durational performance and a fluid, open ended workshop. During the three days of the project, Dávid Somló will practice and show the technique for both passersby and audiences at three busy large squares of Budapest, 3 hours a day. As people join him in the practice, it offers the public space a collective choreography and a gentle spectacle. 

“The twig is always present.
The twig pays attention to you.
The twig is sincere.
The twig is very sensitive.
The twig is inexpensive, but very valuable.”
