“This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise…” These are the words of Shakespeare in praise of England in Richard II.

Mupa Film Club: Emir Kusturica - Life Is a Miracle, Palace of Arts, 9 February
- 9 Feb 2026 6:30 PM
- contemporary
In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking?
Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.) In this case, he wrote them himself.
The story takes place in the early ’90s, during ...

Rogues and highwaymen are typical characters of Hungarian folk traditions. Folk songs, folk tales and ballads preserve the memories of our most famous highwaymen and they feature as a popular topic in folk art. They are often idealised as heroes in folk memory.

In the Rackajam band’s programme, Hungarian culture merges with a love for the rock ’n’ roll revolution. This is how the dawn songs of Kalotaszeg and the poetry of Petőfi and Gérecz come together with the music of Hendrix.
Their highly energetic performance, full of smiles, lights up an evening rich in content, humour, and inspiration. Throughout the show, they highlight connections between ...
