Tonight, we honor two luminous minds: László Krasznahorkai, the 2025 Nobel Laureate in Literature, and Eric Kandel, the 2000 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine.
At first glance, they stand in different worlds one, a Hungarian novelist who paints despair in haunting detail; the other, a Viennese-born neuroscientist who unveiled the biology of memory.
Yet, in truth, they share the same dance a silent choreography between darkness and light, between despair and the possibility of healing.
I. The Dance of Despair — “Sátántangó”
In Sátántangó, Krasznahorkai leads us into a ruined village, where time has collapsed and people circle endlessly through mud and rain.
Every step is repetition, a hypnotic loop of decay.
And yet, within that darkness, his language glows long, relentless sentences that pulse with the rhythm of survival.
The villagers dance not out of joy, but because movement itself is defiance.
In their endless repetition, there is endurance and in endurance, there is meaning.
Krasznahorkai reminds us: from despair, beauty can still be born.
II. The Dance of Memory — “Angel Tango”
Across another realm stands Eric Kandel, who explored how experience reshapes the living brain.
Through his work with the sea snail Aplysia, he revealed how neurons change through learning how memory, trauma, and love leave traces in the synaptic dance of our cells.
If Krasznahorkai shows us the mind’s darkness, Kandel reveals its light.
He teaches that the brain is not fixed it can rewire, relearn, and heal.
Through repetition, the neural tango begins: synapses strengthen, connections deepen, and chaos becomes meaning.
This is the Angel Tango the transformation of repetition into growth.
Where Krasznahorkai’s villagers are trapped, Kandel’s neurons evolve.
What is decay in one world becomes renewal in the other.
III. The Bridge Between the Two
Between Sátántangó and Angel Tango lies the essence of humanity that we suffer, we remember, and we change.
Both despair and hope live in us.
We are the villagers trudging through the storm, and we are the neurons learning to sing again.
To heal another person is to join their dance, to hold their hand and whisper,
“You are not alone.”
IV. The Future — The Universal Dance
In this age of war, division, and mental exhaustion, Krasznahorkai and Kandel together remind us: art and science must not stand apart they must dance together.
Let literature become therapy, and neuroscience become compassion.
Let us create classrooms that teach endurance through stories, and hospitals that heal through music and memory.
This is the global tango of the future a dance of resilience, a choreography of healing.
V. The Final Step
Even now, the villagers of Sátántangó walk through the rain.
Kandel’s neurons still hum with the music of memory.
And we, standing between despair and hope, search for our rhythm in the great human dance.
Let us dance between devil and angel, between ruin and resurrection for in that fragile motion, we discover the secret of being alive.
