At three areas outside of the Capital, the artist group will debut on site in September.

The Duna Artist Ensemble’s performance Fathers and Sons – Dance performance following the collections of Albert Nagy is the starting point of a series in which they want to pay tribute to folk dance collectors who have done outstanding work, focusing first on the work of artistic director Zsolt Juhász‘s master, Albert Nagy. The production will debut at the Professional Folk Dance Festival of the First Carpathian Basin in Tatabánya on September 8, at the National Theater in Szeged on September 10, and at the Táncpanoráma Keszthely on September 13.
As a native of Gyoma, Albert Nagy took over the leadership of the Szeged Dance Ensemble in 1972, which he quickly elevated to one of the best ensembles in the country. According to his own confession, he belonged to the Tímár school and followed him as a choreographer and collector. The Gyula Harangozó prize-winning choreographer has created emblematic collections over the years, and the production entitled Fathers and Sons – Dance Performance Following the Collections of Albert Nagy, built in his honor, is the starting point of a series presenting famous folk dance collectors.
The performance of the Duna Art Group wish to talk about tradition, passing down and taking over through the spiritual relationship between fathers and sons. The interesting thing about the performance is that the Duna Artists’ Group did not invite external choreographers, the dance faculty learned the dance material based on archival recordings. As Zsolt Juhász says: “that’s what made this a great performance”.
The audience can see the most famous collections from the Szeged area in the performance: the gypsy dances of Szegvár, Baksi, Hódmezővásárhely and Kiskundorozsma, and the groom dances of István Kardos from Apadfalvi, but also from Eleki, Méhkerék, Ktéegháza, Mezőség, Széki, Kalotaszeg, Nádasdaróc and Inaktelk, and Lőrinrev from Küküllő-mente dances are also presented in the production, in which excerpts from Ferenc Kölcsey’s Parainesis to Kálmánhoz Kölcsey are also quoted, interpreted by Ödön Jászai Mari award-winning dramatist, worthy artist, and Kristóf Pálvölgyi participates as a dancer.
The ensemble goes on a country tour to present the production on the stages of famous events.

On September 8, the performance will debut at the 1st Carpathian Basin Professional Folk Dance Festival in Tatabánya, on September 10 on the stage of the National Theater in Szeged, and on September 13 at the Táncpanoráma Keszthely event. On September 10, two performance will be in one act at the National Theater in Szeged, in the first act of which the ensembles with which Albert Nagy worked as a choreographer and ensemble leader for many years will perform. The Körösmenti Dance Ensemble from Gyomaendrőd, the Üllési Fonó Dance Ensemble, the Pacirták Folk Dance Ensemble from Sebes-Körös from Romania and the Szeged Dance Ensemble will take part.

Pannonia Entertainment Screening a Two-Month Star Wars Marathon Coming Fall.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized.

This year, another anniversary also makes the presentations relevant. It has been exactly 45 years since the first Star Wars movie hit the cinemas in Hungary.

From the beginning of September, fans of the galaxy far, far away will have an extraordinary opportunity in the multiplexes of Pannónia Movie Kft. in Budapest to have a unique experience for 7 weeks.

This year marks 25 years since the opening of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Sinister Shadows . For the pleasure of this, the first part of the Skywalker saga was sent to cinemas for the first time after the 2012 3D re-release in English-speaking countries, and a new poster was even created for the May event. On the other hand, we Hungarians were left out…

But just as in 1999, in 2024 we will join the jubilee celebration with almost the same delay as the premiere that year. Sinister Shadows could only be seen in domestic theaters from September instead of May, but the latest event of the Pannónia Cinema Network, which starts in autumn, does not come close to re-creating Episode I, which has been experienced as a generational experience for a quarter of a century!

Between September 5th and October 23rd, not a day will pass between the walls of Cinema MOM, Lurdy Cinema, GOBUDA Cinema and Pólus Cinema without a Star Wars episode being screened. As usual, the dubbed and subtitled versions will be screened at MOM. During the games running from DCP copies, digitally restored 4K versions are presented to the viewers, as the age demands.

As a result, we are able to show the latest official versions approved by Disney and Lucasfilm for each work. Thus, the sight of Sinister Shadows will no longer be the same as it was 25 years ago (with a CGI master instead of puppet Yoda), and the original trilogy is based on the 1997 editions by George Lucas.
Three dubbings were made for each of the three parts of the basic trilogy, and we can associate the most recent one from ’97 with our event, as it is the only one that is already for renovated cinemas. We can hear the voices of countless iconic actors who have already passed away, we can sit down to any trilogy, unfortunately the list is too rich to not leave anyone out of the list.

The marathon, on the other hand, contains a point, because, as mentioned, it lasts for 7 weeks, because at the end of the month, Zzivány Egyes is wedged in between the two film trios, and like the others, it will only be shown for a single week. Even though the already mature Disney, modern piece is a little out of nostalgia, its finale is a perfect lead-up to the 1977 classic, patching up one of its most burning, seemingly logical errors.

Before the screenings, the cinemas also enrich the festive event with other programs. Poster and photo exhibitions, costume shows and other programs await those interested.

The parts will be given in historical chronology as follows:

September 5-11: Ominous Shadows

September, 12-18: Attack of the Clones

September, 19-25: Revenge of the Sith

September, 26 – October 2: Rogue One

October, 3-9: A New Hope

October, 10-16: The Empire Strikes Back

October, 17-23: Return of the Jedi

Movies screening @ Budapest: Cinema MOM, Pole Cinema, GOBUDA Cinema, Lurdy Cinema

Back to the future … Enjoy the Star Wars movies once again.

Saturday – September, 14. – 7 p.m.

Ferenc Molnár’s perhaps most famous and world-famous play, The Game in the Castle, will premiere at the Central Theater in Budapest. We can see Molnár’s most personal comedy starring Róbert Alföldi, Eszter Balla, Zsolt László, Samu Puskás and Zoltán Schmied, directed by Tamás Puskás. From the performance woven with brilliant logic, we can learn how to get out of even the most embarrassing situations – with the help of theater. In the performance, the audience can hear Nino Rota‘s music interpreted by the Budapest Bar.

After a day of huzzle and buzzle … fine occasion to enloose at the Central Theater. Have a nice evening enjoy the play. Comment from Tamás Puskás director of the play … “Theater cannot change our lives, but it can make us believe in a better reality.
