Sense into Nonsense, Trafó Budapest, 14 - 17 May
- 14 May 2026 6:00 PM

This is a performance, concert, and urban intervention in one, which draws on the Baroness’s anarchic energy to question how we live, move, and what we desire in the modern city.
The work unfolds across unusual urban locations — shops, basement systems, and public squares — before returning to the Club, where it culminates in a concert with experimental musician Áron Porteleki.
Through ...

Salem, We Remain, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 27 April
- 27 Apr 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
The Salem witch trials of the 17th century appear in this performance not as historical reconstruction, but as a form of resonance. The starting point is the fate of three real women, condemned and destroyed by a social order that could not tolerate deviance: a different body, a different behaviour, a different rhythm. The play explores how these forces are still at work today—how a community ...

The dilemmas of nostalgia, ...

- contemporary
Over the past few years, the compelling multi-arts productions of the Pure Source series have looked at the music Béla Bartók collected in Turkey, the connections between folk and baroque music, and Bartók’s influence on jazz.
These were artistic demonstrations of how Bartók’s collection of folk music has been critical for the work that subsequent generations have carried out for the ...
