Other Myths, commissioned by The Ludwig Múzeum of Budapest, brings Bokaer together with five dancers from Hungary, Croatia, Austria, and Slovenia. Each contributes a myth with origins in the Carpathian Mountains—the vast European mountain range that sits geographically among the dancers' home countries. Ranging from tales of "Vila"—dancing night creatures from the story of Emelka, and forerunners of the "Wilis" of Giselle—to monarchs who misinterpret cultural symbols, each myth has been preserved and passed down through generations. Choreography: Jonah Bokaer Dancers: Zoltán Grecsó, Evin Hadžialjević, Katharina Illnar, Szabi Pataki, Karolina Šuša Music: Soundwalk Collective Scenic element : Daniel Arsham
