The world premier of SEASONS took place at Hooyong Performing Art Center, Munmak, South-Korea in 2010. Since, the show has been performed in Hungary (MERLiN Theatre - Budapest), in Ecuador (Mujeres en la Danza Festival - Quito), in Mexico (The Women International Butoh Festival - Guanajuato), in Germany (schort version in Schlossbröllin) and in Japan (TPAM - Yokohama).
The antecedents of the piece were four site-specific performances in the nature: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Later these nature-related shows turned into urban interventions in the city of Budapest and Tokyo. SEASONS is the stage adaptation and the essence of this performance series.
Gentle and low, spiritual and profane, ancient and contemporary are all appear in the piece. BATARITA playing with her body in the way that from time to time it turns to ignoble, to man, to woman or even to an animal. Her character is the emerging instinct-being that lies deep in the human body.
