JURAJ KUBAŃKA - MIŁOSĆ KAMJENJA

JURAJ KUBAŃKA - THE TENDERNESS OF STONE

Reiner Nagel, Hellmuth Henneberg

Germany, 2019, 30 Min

The “Ballade vom Stein” (ballad of the stone) is regarded as the most significant work that Slovak choreographer Juraj Kubańka created for the Sorbian National Ensemble. Here we see the “archaeologist of Sorbian folklore” in discussions, reminiscences of companions, dance scenes and archive footage.

In the arduous labour of the Lusatian stone quarries and, no less, in the granite itself (which he regards as feminine), Kubańka discovered a poetry which he transformed into dance movements that are at once both delicate and powerful. This work traces the process from its origins in the stone pits via the rehearsal room and archives to the stage. For Kubańka folklore is the root of every culture, an approach deserving of both consideration and a “sława”, the highest form of deference the Sorbian culture has to offer. GL
