First-up, here's a quick look at a current hot topic in Hungary: The Pope’s Visit to Budapest

Pope Francis will pay a short visit here in September to Hold Mass At Heroes’ Square

1. A pro-government columnist thinks that Pope Francis might avoid meeting Hungarian government politicians in order to 'punish them for keeping migrants out of the country' - more on that here.

2. A 'left-wing' commentator accuses the government of using Christianity to promote its own political agenda. For more insights from each side on this trending topic just follow this link.

3. The latest breaking news on the topic is Pope Francis will meet PM Orbán', despite contrary reports.
Watch this space for more on this and other key matters of interest to the international community.

'A Jumble of Dance and Circus'

RAamazuri, by the Eva Duda Dance Company, is a dazzling show that will make you laugh and cheer and charge you up, we're told. It is a "grandiose dance-circus cavalcade dubbed with live music and acrobatic elements" . Movements are the language of this world, the mimics and the body create the narrative. Humour and drama go hand in hand while tender and shrill solutions, elegance and comedy, reality and fantasy take place simultaneously on the stage. This piece is like a sharply polished grotesque mirror wherein majestic and clumsy features of human nature evolve artistically. The spectacular scenery plays a main part in the play, special tools and space elements give the chance for surprising movements and an individual style to thrive. The Eva Duda Dance Company pushes off with this performance to a new dimension of the theatrical dance era. They invite us to a broader universe beyond words where time dissolves in the very first moment so we can enjoy the sparkling adventure. Unique and unrepeatable minutes, the celebration of life because fun is always needed.
