Brotherhood at Trafó<br />
What makes men brothers? What’s that special link that connects them beyond<br />
blood relations? Trafó offers two different versions, two different explanations via<br />
spiritual music and dance.<br />
The Gift X. - Fareed Ayaz-Abu Muhammad<br />
Qawwal & Bros from Pakistan<br />
May 5 at 8.30 p.m.<br />
The Embassy of Pakistan in Budapest and Trafó House of Contemporary<br />
Arts in collaboration with MOL Hungary give you Fareed Ayaz and<br />
his Bros. Fareed Ayaz belongs to the best known gharana (school) of<br />
Qawwali of Delhi (‘Qawwal Bachon ka Gharana’). Qawwali, the religious<br />
Sufi song, aims to evoke the ecstasy of faith and - for a concert or even<br />
longer – to get closer to God. The tradition of Qawwali is approximately<br />
705 years old, and this particular gharana was established by Saamat<br />
bin lbrahim, the principal student of Hazrat Amir Khusrau - the most<br />
prominent Sufi of India. Fareed Ayaz not only has the best trained voice<br />
of all Qawwali singers, but the decades he spent together with his group<br />
honing their craft made the most exquisite Qawwali group of Pakistan.<br />
Fareed Ayaz started his training in classical music at a tender age under the<br />
rigorous and critical tutelage of his late father Ustad Raziuddin, who himself<br />
was an outstanding classical musician and a recipient of the Pakistan<br />
President’s Pride of Performance medal. Fareed Ayaz has total mastery over<br />
various genres of classical music such as dhrupad, khayal, tarana, thumri and<br />
dadra which he blends beautifully during his performances, thus giving Qawwali<br />
new meaning and depth.<br />
Ferenc Fehér: Brothers<br />
May 3-4 at 8.30 p.m.<br />
The desire to conquer, heads bouncing on the fl oor, glimpses of nakedness…<br />
Petty desires and attempts, life and death struggles for nothing. Posing.<br />
Who’s with who, who’s against who, who is who? Together or separate.<br />
What about dignity?<br />
(Judit Simon)<br />
Ferenc Fehér is not a formally trained dancer. He relies on his individual inspirations<br />
and experiences and works in a singularly distinctive style. He is<br />
one of the few people in Hungary whose dance performances are hosted on<br />
foreign stages in 90% of the cases.<br />
He received a wide range of <strong>Hungarian</strong> and international recognitions, including<br />
the Lábán Rudolf award in 2010. As a part of this recognition, Trafó<br />
endeavored to host the artist’s new performance, titled Brothers. The question<br />
you’ll face during the performance is whether these four boys are a team<br />
or brothers?<br />
