“I am who I am”
by myself, through you all –
and in the clear eye
I can catch sight
of the only eternal child
and the mating animal
(György Petz)
“…The event of Inspiration at Trafó was opened by one of the most individual Hungarian performers, Lajánszki Márta. … She has learnt a lot, which she can easily leave behind possessing a self-confident knowledge. Her performance of Two, which – though she danced it with Rácz Eszter – was in fact a solo…”
(Táncművészet, dance 5-6. 2000)
“…The first number at this year’s Inspiration was Ladjánszki Márta’s breath-taking performance of Two – first in all possible senses of the world. Ballet and jazz dancer and gymnast, she is the founder Kompmánia Dance Theatre … Ladjánszki with the full figure of an Arabic belly dancer takes her clothes off slowly, she ‘sheds her snake skin’. She confesses anguish with the – first erotic, then rude – movements of her breast. Whatever has been ethereal turn to the raw sensuous. After the painful humiliation, she regains her (clothes), dignity…”
(Magyar Hírlap, daily November 11th 2000)
“The audience was shocked the other day by Ladjánszki Márta’s breast dance. She must have felt that she – in this way – did something against the treacherous crawling breast cancer, which strips its victim off her womanhood first…”
(Magyar Hírlap, December 2000)
“Ladjánszki Márta is not only prepared for such a solo but all her gestures and movements present her as a really individual performer. She completely shows herself: both physically and psychologically. Still, her openness is not embarrassing because it is a fairly detached theatrical manifestation – in the good sense of ‘theatrical’…”
(Zsöllye, stall November 2000)
“… The first performer was Ladjánszki Márta, co-choreographer of Kompmánia, who won the first prize of the Műhely Alapítvány (Workshop Foundation) at the I. Solo Dance Festival with her performance of One. … Two starts with a sudden upbeat: two powerful slaps on the dancers’ face. … In the middle of the performance Ladjánszki, half-naked, slips into the curious dimensions of corporality with mad and sad gestures; virginal innocence appears in the woman wringing her own breast.”
(Taxi, December 2000)
“… Perhaps Ladjánszki Márta was the only one of the participants, who excelled not only with her embarrassingly curious and incitingly brave choreography but also with the perfection of her performance. … The dancer known from Kompmánia won the possibility of this performance at the I. Solo Dance Festival. … Ladjánszki is worthy of trying the role of choreographer: she is one of the few dancers in Hungary who can use her body in an individual way. She does not tell a thought, a story, a feeling or a rite but tells the body itself. Two is a body-story, more precisely the story of identity, which falls in with the story of the body in this case. First, she appears on the stage in a full-length dress with her face covered just like a blind and deaf alabaster statue, who has no sense of the outer world. … A white-skinned, full Baroque female figure; a statue in creation and the sculptor herself: all this is Ladjánszki Márta. …”
