II. Holnemvolt Festival

2012. 04. 14.

Hungarian folktales, ghost stories, Greek mythology and Boccaccio’s Decameron on stage together at Hungary’s storytelling festival, entering its second year.

Budapest – The Holnemvolt Festival, Hungary’s first international storytelling festival, is happening on April 14-15, 2012., for the second time. Internationally acclaimed storytellers will bring Hungarian, Croatian, Italian and Jewish folktales and Greek legends for the Hungarian audiences through creative interpretation to make the telling accessible for everyone. One of the featured tellers is Berecz András, Kossuth Award-winning folk singer and storyteller. The patron of the event is Varró Dániel, Hungarian poet and translator.

 

„The folktale is the highest form of prose. It is perfectly balanced; the people tested it many times. It has been polished smooth. What was too long, they cut; what was too small, they grew. If man puts tales aside, he is left without a culture.” - Berecz András
