Figuring Age

As Part of the performance-installation Figuring Age, the video installation reveals three elderly dancers in their private homes. Irén Preisich, Éva E. Kovács and Ágnes Roboz are 101, 96 and 90 years’ old and
were once part of the early development of modern dance in Hungary. The stillness of their rooms, filled with personal objects and memories, becomes the scenographic backdrop for their last performances on screen.

As part of Spring Forward Festival in Dublin, the video installation of Figuring Age by Boglárka Börcsök & Andreas Bolm will be shown at the Return Gallery, at the Goethe Institut Dublin, at 37 Merrion Square.

Return Gallery Opening hours:

Monday-Thursday: 10am – 7pm
Friday: 10am – 5pm
Saturday: 10am – 3pm
