Vojtina Puppet Theatre Launches a Series of Exhibitions

Vojtina Puppet Theatre 13 Kálvin Square, Debrecen, Hungary

Artistic director Terka Láposi, the permanent curator of the exhibitions, invited artists and craftspeople who regularly help Vojtina to reflect on the secrets of the creative process, and who are all connected to puppets and puppetry. First, an exhibition of the works of Krisztina Csatáry-Nagy, the permanent photographer of the puppet theatre, will open on the  24th of  September in the exhibition space of the puppet theatre in Kálvin Square.  As a photographer, she has been following the life, performances and events of the Puppet Theatre for almost a decade, so the exhibition is a kind of documentation of the professional work and everyday life of the Puppet Theatre. She believes that she can create, to capture a moment authentically, when she gives herself completely to those who allow her to open up layers of herself to them. To stretch out a single image in an ideal moment, to extract it from the whole, requires total surrender. It takes time, it takes preparation. She wants to capture the real perceived state, feeling, mood. Her theatrical images are visual representations of the performances.  Date: from 24 September Location:  Exhibition space of the Puppet Theatre in Kálvin Square.  Source:dehir.hu

Classical Music Concert at Pásti Synagogue

Pásti Street synagogue 4 Pásti Street, Debrecen, Hungary

A classical concert titled "Musicians from the Old World” awaits the audience on the 24th of September at 7.00 p.m. with the following programme: Mozart: Serenade in D major (Postactaur), K.320 S. Bach: Piano Concerto in G minor, BWV 1058 Bartók: Divertimento Participants: Somogyi-Tóth Dániel - piano / Kodály Philharmonic Conductor: Tibor Bényi About the pieces played: Mozart's Serenade in D major, written in 1779, features a string quartet, flutes, piccolo, oboes, bassoon, horn, trumpet, post horn, and timpani. The Concertante and Rondeau movements contain soloistic passages for flutes, oboes, and bassoons.  Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard concertos are presumably arrangements of earlier works for other instruments, with the Concerto in G minor being his first attempt to write a complete harpsichord concerto. Franz Schubert's Divertimento for string orchestra, commissioned by Swiss conductor Paul Sacher, is a neo-classical work based around modal tonalities and modernist tonality. The piece is characterized by sharp dynamic contrasts, imitation, and polyphonic construction. The final movement, Allegro assai, evokes dark visions of loneliness and combines tradition with Bartók's Eastern European roots. Ticket can be purchased via this link.

Exhibition “Institutional Fictions – The Possibility of an Art Faculty in Debrecen” in MODEM

MODEM art center 1-3 Hunyadi János Street, Debrecen, Hungary

The exhibition “Institutional Fictions – The Possibility of an Art Faculty in Debrecen” with the main focus idea of a possible art faculty in Debrecen takes visitors on a utopian journey and functions as a sort of thinking experiment. Giving young artists from Debrecen and abroad a platform to exhibit their work is one of MODEM Project Space's primary goals, but it's also crucial to make room for multidisciplinary art projects that address the city as a cultural organism. In September 2023, in cooperation between MODEM and the Department of Architecture of the University of Debrecen, Master of Architecture students took a course on the question of which area of the city and in which form the building of the Faculty of Arts could be built. One of the starting points for the project was the realisation that Hungary is a capital city-centric country in terms of cultural history. This is why it is worth paying more attention to the potential of rural art faculties and art institutions, and to develop them in order to create a more diverse system of contemporary art institutions in Hungary. The establishment of a Debrecen art faculty would definitely strengthen the city's social and […]
