Let's imagine that instead of the man, the woman is driving and filming the man, and then they try to explain to the lovely audience that what they see is one of the pillars of Hungarian traditional education.
The "reformation" of folk dance caused quite a stir in folk dance circles, raising its relevance and necessity.
Knowing the antecedents that degenerate to the point of absurdity, it was possible to ignore it, but the news that LGBTQ propaganda wants to wedge itself into traditional activities such as folk dancing was still shocking. It could be expected, but now we are puzzled by the phenomenon.
The question is simple: why do the dreamers of the "LGBTQ folk dance" think that with this labeling they will not achieve the exact opposite of acceptance in the otherwise accepting folk dance environment?
"The day I had my first domestic show was the first time I heard about the homophobic law and I felt like fucking shit," recalled the Dávid Gergő Farkas about the period when he moved back to Hungary from Stockholm. It was his idea to start the LGBTQ movement workshop, and he involved in the project Júlia Vavra , who studied choreography in Amsterdam, and Oláh Balázs , who graduated from the University of Dance with a major in folk dance and then continued his studies in Salzburg. All three moved home a few months ago, this was their first joint event, but certainly not the last, reports 444.hu.
"Hungarian folk dance is characterized by heteronormative structures. The man leads, the woman follows him, or takes a less dominant role"
- said Vavra about the usual male and female roles in folk dance, which he considered inappropriate.
We cannot go without saying that theoretically competent people do not understand the emphasis on the different gender roles present in folk dance, and the harmony of their combination. And if they understand, why do they want to change it?
Quite a few homosexual people are also part of the dance house community, but somehow they do not feel compelled to emphasize their gender identity, and it would never occur to them to force the "advanced spirit of the modern world" into a traditional form of self-expression.
All in all, it is not only an unfortunate but also a downright crazy idea in the 21st century. In the 19th century, social trends began to be imposed like an avalanche on forms of expression that basically represent traditional values, such as folk dance. Traditions of hundreds of years cannot be washed away with new-fangled ideologies.
The result of this would be nothing but the destruction of the tradition itself. Of course, we have no doubt about it: in this case, this would be the desired goal of the opposing parties.
