dühkérés

Dühkérés refers to a traditional Hungarian pastime where people dress up in colorful costumes and move in a rhythmic and energetic manner, typically to folk music. The word "düh" means "anger" or "fury", while "kérés" means "excitement" or "enthusiasm". Thus, dühkérés can be translated as "excitement" or "fury" in motion.

In Hungarian folklore, dühkérés is often performed by groups of people, usually men, who don traditional clothing and adorn themselves with ribbons, flowers, or other decorations. The dancers move in a stiff-legged, high-stepping gait, often performed in unison with other members of the group. The performance is usually accompanied by the playing of traditional Hungarian instruments, such as the cimbalom or the kontra.

The purpose of dühkérés is to invoke the spirit of the music and the crowd's energy. It is often performed during festivals, weddings, and other joyful gatherings. The dance is also a way for the participants to showcase their skills, strength, and agility. Dühkérés is a lively and entertaining spectacle that has been an integral part of Hungarian culture for centuries.

In modern times, dühkérés is still performed and revived by various cultural groups and dance troupes in Hungary and around the world. Its traditional aesthetic and performative style continue to captivate audiences and inspire new generations of dancers and musicians.
