When Reka Szabo was a 15-year old gymnastic student in Budapest, she stumbled on an underground workshop in modern dance, an art form banned as one of the 'plagues of the West' by Communist Hungary where she lived. Szabo was intrigued, curious and determined enough to brave the authorities, forecasting the grit and imagination she would show in founding of The Symptoms in 2002, a performance collective, which rapidly evolved into one of Hungary's leading contemporary dance/theater troupes. Now celebrating its 12th anniversary, the company makes its U.S. debut at Peak Performances's Alexander Kasser Theater, today, October 16-19.
