Textile Sculptor’s Exhibition “Magic of the Moment” Comes to Debrecen

DAB Székház Thomas Mann u. 49., Debrecen, Hungary

The soon-to-open exhibition of textile sculptor Tímea Sz. Nagy focuses on the experience of "now". At the beginning of 2020, after a very successful exhibition, the country closed down almost immediately, leaving the artist a lot of time for reflection. Many, many works of art were created during this time, all around the theme of introspection, contemplation, silence and gratitude. For Tímea Sz.Nagy it is very important to live the present, to experience every single moment of the creative process, to feel and enjoy, to taste the magic, to absorb the experience that the creation gives... and to pass on its message. As she puts it so strongly, the focus of her forthcoming exhibition in Debrecen is on living the "now". The exhibition opens on the 19th of June at 4.30 p.m. at DAB Székház in Thomas Mann Street. President of the MTA DAB Club, professor István Rácz will give a toast at the event, which will be opened by art writer János Cs. Tóth with the participation of Anita Oláh playing the harp. Date: from 19 June Location: DAB Székház Source: dehir.hu

Krisztián Budai’s Solo Conga Evening

DESz24 Batthyány u. 24., Debrecen

A special programme entitled “ The conga player” awaits those interested in music and theatre on Wednesday the 26th of June from 19:00 at the Desz24 club on Batthyány Street.  Krisztián Budai, an excellent musician from Debrecen and his solo performance is half theatre, half music, a "one-man show". As Krisztián Budai writes about his performance: "A little bit of music, including percussion instrumental music, a little bit of theatre, a little bit of life, a slice of myself, of my life. A one-man show, I call it a life story. Questions, reflections on life, self-reflections, problem posing, and maybe some answers or just more questions. In the process of writing, it became clear to me that it would not be enough to put in generalities, without my own tastes, my own insights, or even my own lived experiences, this whole fabric would not work. Through the questions, problems and stories we can learn about ourselves, our own lives or our patterns. So if you come, you are guaranteed to get a big dose of percussion music, a big dose of the percussionists' lives, and a big dose of me and my stories". The event is free, but a supporter […]
