About Christian Culture Festival

Christian Culture Festival was organized for the first time in 1997 on 10th Anniversary of the Logos Theatre. In a sense, it extends the idea of Christian Culture Weeks organized in Poland in 70s and 80s of the last century, which were to become counterpoise to lay media model promoted by the State. Lodz Christian Culture Days were organized in churches all around the city, so as to accommodate the artists, spectacles, exhibitions and projections.

One of such places was the John Paul lecture theatre in the vault of the Assumption of Holy Mother Church in Kościelna Street. This is where the Logos Theatre started, before it was moved to the church in Maria Skłodowska-Curie. It was this church that Archbishop Władysław Ziółek gave to the Lodz artists in 1993, and in which the Centre of Creative Communities’ of Lodz Archdiocese was appointed. It is here that the ‘logistic’ centre of the Festival is located, and where some of the Festival events take place.

Traditionally, the Festival takes place in November, on the first Sunday after All Soul’s Day. It usually lasts for two weeks, during which various event take place – spectacle premiers, other theatres come to Lodz, there are exhibitions of invited artists, performances of choirs and musicians, very often not to be seen anywhere else in Poland at any other time. The Festival programme is the result of the whole year’s work of rev. Waldemar Sondka, the Festival Director, who – using his contacts – invites artists who are interesting, out of the ordinary, noteworthy and creating art perhaps not always religious, but always searching and at the highest level. Care for the level of the Festival offers is a permanent rule, the Logos environment has always wished to provide the Lodz citizens with the possibility of contact with art deprived of parochialism, open to the man and as perfect formally as possible.

The Festival is not an activity that brings profit. Any entrance cards are issued as invitations that are free of charge, and the team of the Logos Theatre and all the people engaged in the Festival organization, act as volunteers. This does not mean that Christian Culture Festival costs nothing. On the contrary, to organize such a cultural event at appropriate level is always connected with costs. Rev. Waldemar Sondka deals with organizing means to secure the Festival events all year round. He manages to gain sponsors (without whom the Festival would not exist) and subsidies from institutions that deal with funding culture (without which the Festival could not develop). All that in order to realize the basic idea of the event that derived from the Lodz Christian Culture Days – to enable anyone who wishes and needs that, to live the Mystery through art. This idea assumes a free of charge participation in all the artistic events, which has been the case since the very beginning of the Festival until today, the only condition is that on the day of the Festival opening, one must queue as long as it takes to get invitations. The only limit to the number of invitations is the capacity of rooms in which the events are organized every day throughout the two weeks of the Festival.

Hungarian Art of Movement Company

The company — under the name 1 More Movement Theatre — was founded in September 1995 under the leadership of Márk Fenyves and István Pálosi. The first work, “Desire Variations”, was premiered in MU Theatre, Budapest, in 1998.

They are the authentic representatives of the almost hundred-year-old modern dance traditions of Hungary (usually refered to as “art of movement”). Though the schools of this early trend were banned after 1948, the style and spirit have survived and could be renewed int he early nineties. This theatre the only company that has consistently and practically endeavoured to resurrect and continue these traditions.

Their artistic and creative work is backed up by extensive theoretical and research work. Their organisation, the Orkesztika Foundation fosters Valeria Dienes’ heritage (her movement theory and artistic works). The members of the new generation of contemporary, creative artists go beyond mere reproduction, and their activity represents the continuation between past and present. It is their main purpose to preserve the traditions of Hungarian modern dance, namely art of movement, and to continue teaching it according to up-to-date expectations. Dance for them is more than just “technique”, so they teach more than just a set technique but a style and spirit coplying with the teachers’ individual methods. Their way of thinking relies on one of the basic art-of-movement principles, namely to help students find their own individuality in stage language, in dance through their own personalities.

Aiming at “collective arts” 1 More Movement Theatre is heading towards forming an organic unity of be dancer, of musicality and visuality. This is supposed to become a special form of expression based on harmony. It is a free styled theatre with its members reshaping its image from time to time. The company is exclusively concerned with movement reflecting expression and is not dedicated to any specific school.

The company draws upon the Hungarian modern dance traditions, mingled with a contemporary way of individual thinking. This combination results in a unique classico-modern style of dance and represents a specifically new Hungarian callisthenic movements. The “In Memoriam Dienes Valéria” performance which was made on the 120th anniversary of the birth of Valéria Dienes (1879-1978) was awarded the first prize on the 6th Alternative Theatrical Festival in 2000, as well as the special “Dance Festival Prize” of the III. National Contemporary Total Art Festival in Veszprém.

The dance performance entitled “Without Wings” was given the audience award at the 7th Alternative Theatrical Festival. Upon the decision of the international jury of Pro Helvetia the performance was invited — being the only representative of Hungary — to the 2001 Theatrical Festival in Krakow (Poland). The “Variations — (Daffodils and Echos)” dance performance won the 8th Alternative Theatrical Festival’s audience award in 2002. At the Festival of the Dance — the IX. National Contemporary Festival of Arts in Veszprém (May 24-27, 2006), “Cain-Abel” got the special prize of the photograph artists. Alternative Theater Review in Szeged — (July 17-23, 2006 — Thealter International) István Pálosi and Márk Fenyves, “Cain-Abel” won a prize as the “Best Duo Performance”. IX International Theatrical Festival “King — Fairy Tale” Velikiy Novgorod, Russia (22-27 April, 2007) “Cain-Abel” won a “Red Prize”.
