The most recent work of dance company Hungry Sharks is a choreographed jigsaw puzzle with components of urban dance that invites audiences into an adventure trip searching for mutual interrelationships. By repeating the same movement sequences again and again, twelve dancers create space for interpreting human encounters and social changes. Loosely based on motives from the Oscar-winning short film Tango by Zbigniew Rybczynski, Hidden in Plain Sight is a great example of how urban dance can mutate from street style to an artistic performance without compromising its freshness, and at the same time make the importance of impulses from our fellow human beings transparent and tangible to the audience.
Choreographer Valentin Alfery and producer Dušana Baltić founded the urban dance company Hungry Sharks in 2011. In order to establish the movement language of urban dance styles in theatre as well, the company regularly produces feature-length, urban dance pieces, and performs them internationally (Austria, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Croatia and Romania).
