Klimt “The Kiss” – Exhibition on Screen in Hungarian Cinemas.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , .

The Kiss - klimt

In December, the newest member of the Exhibition on Screen, the English fine art documentary of the iconic Klimt – “The Kiss”, distributed by Pannonia Entertainment, will be released in Hungarian cinemas.

Director: Ali Ray – Producer: Phil Grabsky – Music: Asa Bennet – Producer and distributor: Seventh Art Productions.

“Maybe not everyone knows who painted it, when and why, but it can be known through Gustav Klimt’s painting “The Kiss.”

Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss” is one of the most famous and most reproduced paintings in the world. It is perhaps the most popular poster on the walls of student dormitories from Beijing to Boston.
The suggestive picture depicting an unknown couple, painted in Vienna around 1908, enchants viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials. But what is behind the appeal of the painting; and who was its creator? You can find out when watching the documentary film.
A close study of the painting – the real gold, the decorative patterns, the symbolism and the seething eroticism – takes us to the remarkable turn-of-the-century Vienna, when a new world was battling the old.

Premier of “Péter Fekete” Centrál Theater – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , .

performance_cover_image_36

Premiere  Friday – December, 8. 7 p.m.

Musical play in two parts.

Although Péter Fekete is a fairy tale in terms of its genre, its basic situation is still very relevant today. The handsome stock market shark meets the world’s biggest badass, who can achieve anything and collapses. Complete disaster! So what could be a more profitable investment than founding a joint stock company for your bad luck? The business starts, but love intervenes: both the worn-out gentleman and the loser meet the great Ó. The thrilling love chase is interspersed with evergreen hits and in the finale, happy couples are already holding hands.

On December 8, the Central Theater in Budapest will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a re-arranged presentation of the theater’s first premier. Attila Magyar played the title role of the Hungarian classic Péter Fekete, then and now, but the audience can also see Juli Básti again in the role of the grand lady Ella Szőnyi. However, the person of the director changed, her son Samu Puskás took over the baton from Tamás Puskás. In this haunting tale set in the1930s Budapest, the events revolve around a boyfriend and a stock market shark, and of course love plays a part in everything. We can see Róbert Alföldi in the role of Uncle Charlie, Tibor Fehér plays the handsome businessman, Dorina Martinovics plays the typist in love with the young titan, while actress Eszter Balla plays his aspiring younger sister.

“Peter Fekete is a touching tale for all of us, boys and girls, wise young adults. With such a level of charm, guides us towards accepting our complete interdependence, that suddenly black and white, loneliness and reciprocated love are within arm’s reach.” said by director Samu.

Hungarian play in original language, yet with its awesome actors and actress will be an excellent opportunity to see this entertainment performance even with less Hungarian language knowledge.

Authors – Mihály Eisemann –  Gyula Somogyi –  Lyrics István Zágon – Additional actorts: István Békeffy – Imre Füredi – Imre Harmath – László Szilágyi – Reworked by Hilda Harsing – Director –  Samu Puskás.

Further show dates to this month: Sunday, December 10 – 3 p.m. Wednesday, December. 13. – 7 p.m. Sunday, December 31 – 3 p.m.

It is expected to be a very popular piece, so it is worth A.S.A.P. to buy a ticket available on the spot … Address:

The legendary Hungarian band playing South American music @ Fonó Buda Music House

losgringos_2022

The legendary Hungarian band playing South American music is holding its jubilee concert at Fonó – Buda Music House – District, XI., 3. Sztregova Str. Budapest.

Date/Time: December, 2., 8 p.m.

The group Los Gringos also performed at the opening series of the Fonó, and in the 30th anniversary year, they will return on stage at the music hall with a festive concert, along with several guests in company.

The band was formed in 1993, mostly from Székesfehérvár members who practiced music, who previously – with few exceptions – enhanced the reputation of the deservedly popular band Los Andinos. In the past three decades, at first, they conveyed their impressions and experiences gained on collecting trips to South America primarily through live shows, concerts and regular club nights in Székesfehérvár and Budapest to their enthusiastic audiences, but they also had the opportunity to record their musical experiences on studio recordings.

The ensemble had the opportunity to participate in the opening event series of the Fonó Budai Music Hall alongside such illustrious performers as the Bran ensemble, the Újstílus Zenekar, the Dresch Quartet or the ROVA Saxophone Quartet (USA). After some unique initiatives, such as in recent years, Sicuris de Fonó has been devoting its energy to two large-scale productions with choirs, Misa Criolla (A. Ramirez) and Misa Andina (M. Vicencio). Hungarian audiences could hear them at many concerts and churches with the participation of various choirs and soloists.

At its jubilee concert, the band returns with guest performers to the revival of the “evergreens” of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, in addition to which they will treat the curious audience with new songs. The evening ends with an informal audience meeting, where everyone is welcome!

Women’s Management Club of MVÜK (Business Association of Hungarian Business Managers) held their press gathering at the Haris Park – Budapest, whereas invitated guest spoked about female and male experiences  in the field of senior managers. During the presentation showing the boards of statistical numbers concerning the research results on this topic.

“To do or not to do, i.e. should the characteristics of being a manager be changed?” In October 2023, the Women’s Management Club of the Business Association of Hungarian Business Managers conducted a gap-filling, non-representative research under the title, which assessed the strengths, challenges, competences, areas to be developed, and stereotypes related to female leadership in small and medium-sized companies operating in Hungary. The research was carried out with the support of OPTEN, the Women’s Management Club of MVÜK (Business Association of Hungarian Business Managers), and the managers of its member companies.
During the survey, 221 questions were answered by senior managers. The results highlighted, among other things, that there is still work to be done, because the numbers regarding the proportion of female managers and equality in the labor market have hardly changed since the research carried out two years earlier.

In a netshell: A quote from the presentation: “Q”: How to achieve your business goals with marketing, communication and knowledge management tools?
“A”: Our messages really reach their destination, when they really make sense, if we formulate them consciously and conscientiously and deliver them using the appropriate communication channels. If our messages are about how we can add value to the professional and business lives of others, then those who read or hear them will instinctively or intentionally return again and again and connect with those who will benefit from their knowledge and experience.
