After working as a dancer/performer with several choreographers/directors, RÉKA SZABÓ founded The Symptoms, one of the most important contemporary dance-theater companies in Hungary since 2002. The company deals with everyday problems that concern us all, addressing these issues with a deeply personal tone. All this is wrapped in a vision that is grotesque, self-mocking and poetic at the same time. This attitude can also be traced in his experimental dance films “Shadow Movie – cartoon with living characters” and “Mourning,” which have been screened at various festivals (e.g. Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival, RE-SEARCH Summer Festival 2016, Tel-Aviv). He received the Best Experimental Film award at Hungarian Film Week in 2011 for “Shadow movie.”
