Love'n'go in Budapest last night was dance to remember, in a run-down former art cinema, the setting for this provocative performance, set-up by an intro speech (comical shout, due to the lack of a mic) by director Eva.

Xpat Opinion: Teachers & Their Students: The Hungarian Situation
- 24 Jan 2013 7:59 AM
