A Székely gate is a symbol of ancient power, faith, hope, belonging to God, a channel of communication between heaven and earth. Its three posts represent the unity of body, soul and spirit, and its carvings are symbols that render protection, grace and blessing.
The Duna Art Ensemble drew inspiration for its production from this wonderful, richly meaningful construction. The creators want ...
OneTwoMany Collective: 'InThisTogether', Trafó Budapest, 24 May
- 24 May 2024 8:00 PM
- contemporary
Contemporary circus - This is an experiment. We have some intentions, but just like you we don’t exactly know what is going to happen. “InThisTogether” is a participatory circus show that relies on the audience in order to happen at all. If you choose to be involved, you will experience the trust, focus and joy that is so intrinsic to circus. And yes, you will share some of the risk and ...
Recirquel Budapest: Solus Amor, Palace of Arts Budapest, 20 May
- 20 May 2024 7:00 PM
- contemporary
A few years ago, a new genre was born here in Budapest: foreign critics were the first to dub this novel art form "cirque danse" as created by Bence Vági and his globetrotting circus company.

- 8 Dec 2023 8:00 PM
- contemporary
The Hidden Men holds up a special mirror in front of us, in which we can see the „Macho”, the „Narcissus” and also the „Hercules”, and through these we can closely examine the archetypes of man. Frenák alternately calls up male chauvinist violence, stupid pretentiousness and the balance of power that structures our interactions with others.
FrenÁk’s contemporary choreography shows ...
Ballet Pécs: Carmina Burana, Opera House Budapest, 13 December
- 3 Dec 2023 7:00 PM
- classical
Carmina Burana is an unavoidable subject, a great task that is nevertheless a wonderful challenge in the career of a choreographer and one that sooner or later draws the creative artist to it. Orff's composition elevates the medieval student songs to a loftier region.
