The Honved Dance Company of Hungary is even a “couple” troupe, because they always visited places to give performances, friendship between performers gets deepened and many become couples. The head of the troupe and his wife are also a couple that got married many years ago. His wife does not make performances any more and only helps to take care of general service. Their daughter is also a member of the troupe, and the troupe could be called their home. Undoubtedly the troupe is full of warm home atmosphere. During their performances in Suzhou, five members’ birthday came and, regardless of the fatigue of one’s performance, all the members celebrated their birthday. On September 30, 2007, which was not only the day of the award-giving evening party but also the birthday of the head Titan Zolavsky, on behalf of the troupe, he received a golden prize. It was double joy. After the evening party finished, fireworks had been set in Zhouzhuang, he got quite excited and laughed, saying, “It is a special birthday for me”. |
