     AN IMPROVISATIVE DANCE EVENING
     BY MEDIC’ALL ART DANCE COMPANY




    Artistic director:
    GABRIELLA CSABAI

    This ensemble transmits information using the momentary emotional state of the motion, the music and the dancer. They intend to show an improvised moment, a never-recurring atmosphere to the audience. The dancers meet the music to be heard on the spot, at the given time, and they fill it up with their momentary emotions and creativity. This will make each artists’ production individual, unique and unrepeatable. This peculiar mixture makes the production exciting: everything happens spontaneously, there is no pre-composed choreography. The performance provides such a bunch of information and inner value that can help the viewers find the thread that leads towards harmony. This thread is unique to everyone and everybody can choose the most fitting one during the evening.

     CASTA DIVA

    A monodrama by
    FERENC BARANYI


    Performed by:
    ANNA PÁNTI

    Featuring at the piano:
    VALÉR HEGEDŰS

    Rozália Schodelné Klein, born two hundred years ago, was the only female singer of European fame at Erkel’s opera company. At the world premiere of the opera Hunyadi László, Erzsébet Szilágyi’s role was hers, and the Norma Tree owes its name to her, as well. How come? – Ferenc Baranyi’s monodrama will answer this question, among other ones.

    5th, Tuesday, 7 pm

     OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE

    A cheerful performance in two parts
    by the Homeless Theatre (AHA stage)


    Based on writings by Tibor Aradi, Mihály Kal Pintér, Péter Kövesdi, Tamás Heller,
    János Körmendi, Barnabás Trunkó, Zsolt Ürmös, and Ferenc József Varga

    Edited and directed by: TIBOR SELMECZI

    An amusing meeting with the shady side of life, like when a doc
    stoops down to an injured person, keeps looking at the knife in his back,
    and eventually asks: “Doesn’t it hurt?” The other replies: “Only when I laugh!”


    Do come and laugh with us at our everyday troubles! Don’t forget:
    for you, a ticket costs you only 1500 HUF, the actors perform
    out of charity – at least there is shelter above their heads for this time.

    Members can enter with their valid membership cards.
    You can help homeless people with donations placed in the box.
    Guests can buy a ticket at the venue (1500 HUF).
