Let the sunshine in

Today (or I should say at the moment) I'm absolutely high. After months of almost-starving I got an acceptable salary, which nevertheless I hope will improve in the future.
The next very important thing that made my day is that in the evening we saw a quite interesting performance in MU Theater. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the vocabulary to describe the performance. In fact, I'd be lost for words even in Hungarian if I tried to express the impact it had on me.
I hardly ever go to the theater, perhaps once or twice a year. I've never really had money to spend on myself and when I did I spent it on food or occasionally on clothes. The Symptoms (Tünet Együttes) is the one and only alternative group that I faithfully follow, which means I have attended their performances four times altogether. I came across a leaflet of them while I was at university. The first thing I saw was Alibi and I fell in love with it at the very moment.
The Symptoms is a curious group centered around Réka Szabó, a mathematician and choreographer. Their performances combine the great unsolved dilemmas of life with mathematics, psychology, contemporary dance, visual effects and (self-)irony. They lead you to undiscovered paths of your mind and make you see the world upside down. Meanwhile they entertain you with their wit and amaze you with their beautiful way of moving. Each movement follows organically from the previous one. Since they are the only group of the kind that I know of, I cannot compare them to anyone. Actually, I count as a lay person in this field.
The performance we saw today is called Chance (Véletlen in Hungarian). It is an interesting coincidence of a Math lecture about chance and a dance performance. Each time an acknowledged Hungarian mathematician presents the lecture, for example today it was Mérő László, who is famous for game theories. According to my high school Math teacher his books are easily understandable and entertaining for lay people as well. So, basically, there is a professor explaining the development of theories about chance, beginning with ancient Greeks of course. In the meantime six dancers drop in and provide context for the lecture. Or shall I say the lecture provides context for their performance? As we follow the performance our perception constantly swifts between the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Without noticing we get so involved that we no longer feel embarrassed by the swifts. Unfortunately the performance ends too soon. With a practical joke.
