Solo Exhibition of Attila Bagi “The Still is Life”  Opens

modem

MODEM opens its new exciting exhibition on February 20 at 6:00 p.m. Attila Bagi, a visual artist from Debrecen living in Budapest, presents his solo exhibition in the Project Space which aims to showcase emerging artists.  The exhibition explores the tradition of still life in the context of modern consumer culture and technology, drawing from his series that reimagines the tradition and medium-specific possibilities of still life representation within the transformed object culture and technological environment of the 21st century. Key questions include whether we can see our individuality in mass-produced goods and if disposable items can serve as tools for legacy. Each piece reinterprets traditional still-life painting, pushing objects beyond the picture frame and challenging viewers to rethink genre conventions.   Date: 20 February - 15 April Location: MODEM Source: modemart.hu/en

Chinese Lantern Festival on Debrecen’s Oldest Pedestrian Street

Batthyány Street Batthyány utcán, Debrecen, Hungary

The Chinese Lantern Festival is traditionally held in February to mark the end of the Chinese New Year, so it is around the same time as the carnival celebrated in Hungary.

During the colourful programme, children are invited to take part in a carnival costume contest, with prizes to be won, and at the end of the event, Aquamanó will perform at the rousing street ball.

Kodály Philharmonia Concert with Puccini Melodies

Kodály Philharmonia will bring Puccini's heroines from the operas Tosca, Madame Butterfly, La Bohème Vitae, Manon Lescaut and Gianni Schicchi to the Kölcsey Centre, but also Sister Angelica Part II. On Tuesday, 25 February, at 7.00 p.m., the performance of Puccini's Heroines will feature vocalists Gabriella Létay Kiss and Atala Schöck, the Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra, the Kodály Choir (choirmaster: Zoltán Kocsis-Holper) and the Lautitia Children's Choir (choirmaster: József Nemes). The performance is sold out, but tickets for the extra section are still available here. Throughout his life, Giacomo Puccini paid particular attention to the female gender. This affection is evident not only in his biographies, but in almost all of his stage works. Seven of his twelve operas have female protagonists, but Bohemia, for example, is more about Mimi, the crow, than about artistic life in Paris. What's more, in this opera there is another carefully nuanced female character, Musetta. But even alongside Turandot, there is a counterpoint in the person of Liú, the self-sacrificing slave girl.   Date: 25 February Location: Kölcsey Centre Source and photo credit:dehir.hu
