TOUCH ME NOT
TOUCH ME NOT / Nebáncsvirág (trailer)
Touch me not (Nebáncsvirág) is a jaunty dance performance with black humour and self-irony about the passage of youth and the banality that follows. The work introduces four teenagers growing up through their weekdays—all hopes and desires. The setting is a nameless place with a special climate, possibly a greenhouse, where significant life questions find their answers in a magical world ruled by the Fates (Moirai) who spin the thread of life.
The narrative arc moves from hopeful youth full of dreams to the moment when girls appear and everything that truly matters becomes suddenly banal and unimportant. The greenhouse village (“fóliaváros”) becomes the space where a young man named Kicsi Iván confronts the gap between his youthful aspirations and the mundane reality that awaits.
J3ZZ composed the ending soundtrack for the performance, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the work’s thematic arc from hope to resignation, from significance to banality.
