The duet of Éva Fahidi, a 90-year-old Auschwitz survivor and Emese Cuhorka, a young talented dancer explores questions such as the gap between a woman living with the memory of Holocaust and a young woman of today, the existence in a young and old body - all this with humor, honesty and empathy. The performance was directed by Réka Szabó, artistic director of The Symptoms
Dear All,
I am Réka Szabó, director of the documentary Crying Will Get You Nowhere. Before divulging any details, let me start by thanking all of you for taking a few minutes to get acquainted with our project. If we manage to raise the funds necessary to complete the film, I am confident that we will have brought to the screen a truly moving story about a remarkable woman, Éva Fahidi. Time is of the essence. This film must be made now — or it never will. But what is the story, you may ask?
The Symptoms, a Hungarian dance-theatre group have launched their first crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in relation to Crying will get you nowhere, a documentary film with an extraordinary approach to the topic of ageing.
The film focuses on Éva Fahidi, a 90 year old Holocaust survivor who - despite her age - decided to step on the stage of a theatre for the first time in her life to perform in The Symptoms’ dance-theatre performance Sea Lavender. The film is directed by Réka Szabó, artistic director of the company. 3 days have left from the campaign. Those who want to support the creation of the film in exchange for a very special gift can still do it for 3 days.

Sea Lavender — or the Euphoria of Being
In this duet of two women, a 90-year-old Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor teams up with a young dancer.
Éva is a passionate pleasure-seeker, while Emese is bent of saving the world. Éva never says good-bye, while Emese enjoys coming home. What connects them is the common language of dance. One of the last witnesses of the Holocaust, Éva has kept her clothes she wore as a young woman, and they fit Emese to a tee. Emese is tall; Éva likes to believe she has remained so. They look alike...
