Every winter, a circus marquee, the Müpa Tent, sets up by the car park of this arts complex in south Pest. Between 30 November and 9 January, two special festive performances now await audiences.
Recirquel, an award-winning fusion of dance and contemporary
circus, present their show, Kristály (‘Crystal’). Conceived by company founder Bence
Vági in 2018 and since reworked, the performance guides the viewer to the
frozen landscapes of Snowland.
The other piece is a family-friendly tale in Hungarian by acclaimed poet Anna T Szabó, Égigérő, a cheerful, witty, musical
response to the everyday anxieties in our lives, with characters such as Eszter
Balla, Bea Palya and Márk Ember.
A skating rink will again by set up by the Müpa Tent this year, providing a wonderful panorama of the Danube embankment, with free live music to boot. Performers such as the Bluebay Foxes and DagaDub will perform alongside the covered rink, along with Freakin’ Disco, the Qualitons and others, plus jazz legend István Elek and his quartet, plus the Sounds of Handpan and Ruby Harlem. Further details in English will soon be available on the Müpa website.
