It seems that lately, Hungary’s young and mid-generation of dancers and choreographers wants to talk – more than anything else – about themselves. Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise in the age of selfies and Instagram. But in art, self-expression often goes together with self-reflection and even self-doubt, and that is where it gets a bit more complicated

“Dawn,” by the Hungarian choreographer Adrienn Hod, is a very naked dance. At the beginning of this work, seen Sunday at the Abrons Arts Center Playhouse, four dancers — from Ms. Hod’s company, Hodworks — enter the stage in warm-up clothes and matter-of-factly undress. Over the next 45 minutes, they execute a series of daring physical tasks in this most unencumbered state.
