On the 19th of  September, an exhibition of Tibor Mikolás' oeuvre opened at the New City Hall Gallery. From the last day of the month, from the 30th, the Faculty of Music will host a jubilee exhibition of photographs and models entitled “Mikolás 100”. The emblematic figure of the design engineer training, the best connoisseur of modern architecture, once brought not only architectural culture but also a strong architectural position to Debrecen. On his study trips he travelled the world, but his work was mostly in Debrecen, where he is associated with such landmark buildings as the Centrum Department Store, the Liszt Ferenc College of Music and the Kölcsey Cultural Centre, which has now been demolished. Tibor Mikolás, an architect and teacher of great stature and exceptional talent, died in 2014 and would celebrate his 100th birthday on the 28th of September this year. Buildings such as the former Centrum Department Store and the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music are associated with his name.

This year, the Cultural Heritage Days will take place on the weekend of 21-22 September, organised for the first time by the Ministry of Construction and Transport in cooperation with the ICOMOS Hungarian National Committee. In Debrecen, too, there will be programmes at several venues. There will be many places where monuments, historic buildings, ensembles, cemeteries, gardens can be visited free of charge and activities that are often not otherwise accessible can be tried. The event highlights the need to protect, respect and approach with expertise the irreplaceable built heritage and monuments that are part of national culture.

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
