Recirquel Company Budapest: The Naked Clown
10 September 2018, 7 pm — 9 pm
Festival Theatre

The Clown's life is coming to an end. He is about to enter the unknown, but before the 'final curtain call' he needs to leave his collar behind, taking the last steps only with the nakedness of his soul. In this production, the disguise is removed both literally and figuratively, as the performers invite the audience on an unusual inner journey into imaginary realms, where the layers covering and protecting reality disappear. Our fellow travelers and guides in this spectacular production, accompanied and expanded with live music and dancers, are the acrobat artistes of the Recirquel contemporary circus company. The show traverses the borders of circus arts, dance, theatre and music. The company invited five dancers and four trampoline artists to take part in the year-long creation of The Naked Clown. The music compositions of the show were recorded with a symphony orchestra, bringing the European music of the 19th and 20th centuries to life with all the flair of the circus. In Hungarian with English subtitles. The première was an event of the Budapest Spring Festival.

Orsi Kozma: Meetings

16 September 2018

Kozma is planning a veritable parade of stars for her appearance at Müpa Budapest, including Péter Novák and Krisztián Szakos, the creators of Jazz+Az László Dés, Dóri Behumi and Eszter Váczi, not to mention the Cotton Club Singers vocalists Gabi Szűcs and Gábor Fehér, as well as Adrienn Zsédenyi (Zséda), a previous member of the popular vocal ensemble who has forged a successful solo career. "I'm very lucky, a lot of people have had a really big influence on me. Péter Novák - the crazy one - who I have to thank for his influence in terms of not only pop-rock and folk music, but also the theatre. I actually trained to be an actress and I appeared in quite a few musical productions. After one particularly annoying audition I had enough: I never wanted to act again. The power of words - I stopped right then and there. I've missed it ever since. There's also Jazz+Az, where Péter Geszti and László Dés really helped to get my career going, while Dóri and Eszter are good friends of mine to this day. The Cotton Club Singers - I didn't have a clue about swing music - opened up new paths before me. Then I started searching for my own path: I began writing songs. I found a creative partner in the songwriter Krisztián Szakos. We made three albums of experimental electro-pop (Egy szó; Az igazi szerep; Vulkán) together. We put a great team together: Gábor Cseke on the piano, Vikto Hárs on the bass guitar and Csaba Pusztai playing drums, plus me. One of the songs from our last album, Vízjel made it onto the MAHASZ List.” (Orsi Kozma)

Maarja Nuut & Ruum: „Muunduja”

23 September 2018

Estonian duo Maarja Nuut & Ruum operate in a musical intermediary zone. They connect the deep-rooted, intuitive worldview of days past with the hyper-mediated realities and seemingly limitless technological possibilities of the present and future. Maarja Nuut uses a violin, looper, vocal experiments and keyboards to capture that moment when our inner narratives are led by intuition rather than reason. Ruum is a contemporary electronic musician who provides a complementary, if often abstract framework to Nuut's melodies. His soundscapes might offer a sense of structure at first, but upon closer inspection the sonic landscape he creates forces the listener into contemplating altogether more mysterious afterworlds and intermediary zones. Maarja Nuut & Ruum's music often invites us into dialogue; not by addressing us directly, rather by luring us into unimagined conversations with elements of our psychic selves that we may have otherwise forgotten. Finding a way back out of the sonic maze they create can be difficult, and the appeal of staying in this magical labyrinth may also prove irresistable. The duo's first album, Muunduja (Shifter), will be released in October 2018 on the UK's 130701 label.
