Recirquel

Founded in Budapest, Hungary in 2012 by director and choreographer Bence Vági, Recirquel has by now become one of the leading contemporary circus companies in the world, representing a unique style of circus combined with dance and theatre building upon the flair of mid-eastern European – Hungarian classical theatre culture. The productions of this pioneering company bewitch audiences worldwide with the immersive quality of the magical universes they create. Recirquel is resident at Müpa in Budapest, Hungary’s leading cultural institute. Recirquel's first show,'Night Circus', premiered in the spring of 2013 and was an overnight success. The company not only attracted appreciative audiences, but also gained practical support from Hungary's leading cultural institution, Müpa Budapest. The company has presented all its subsequent productions at the venue. In the spring of 2014,'The Naked Clown', Recirquel's second show, premiered at the Budapest Spring Festival. The same year the company realised its third production,'Paris de Nuit', bringing to life the artistic work of the famous Hungarian photographer Brassaï, who captured the decadent, yet enchanting nights of the 1930's Paris. In 2015 Bence Vági created 'Non Solus', a unique blend of dance and circus wrapped in the world spun full of illusions with two performers, telling the story of two humans finding one another, and exploring the innermost depths of imagination. With the creation of 'Non Solus' the company, for which crossings over the genres of circus, dance and theatre had always been in the focus, turned towards an even more ground-breaking form of theatrical expression creating a new genre, Bence Vági, artistic director of the company calls ‘cirque danse’.'My Land', conceived in 2018 represents the next milestone in this pioneering process. The moving new piece exploring humanity’s roots – the eternal inheritance of humankind and earth premiered at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018.

Trip

TRIP is a multicultural establishment: we host theatre and circus shows, dance performances, concerts. Founded in 2017, our main goal was to create a unique venue that showcases the different art-forms of the Hungarian performance industry. TRIP found its home on a historic ship anchored right opposite the Parliament on the Danube. Due to COVID-19, we had to completely reinvent ourselves since cultural establishments are closed for the unforeseeable future. We decided to take to online platforms, so our audience can follow our performances via livestream, and we established the First Hungarian Quarantine Theatre. We have theatre performances, concerts, and a webseries, mostly revolving around the topic of the current pandemic. We believe that art has to reflect upon the times it exists in. In the meanwhile, we do our best to support ourselves and our performers both creatively and financially with the help of our audience.

Mus-E Magyarország

A MUS-E (Art at School) program koncepciója a neves hegedűművész és humanista gondolkodó, Yehudi Menuhin nevéhez fűződik. A kezdeményezés 1993-ban indult útjára az Európai Unió égisze alatt. “A világ kulturális fejlődésének évtizede” UNESCO projekthez kapcsolódva. A program célja az elfogadásra, az önképviseletre, együttélésre, együttműködésre nevelés a művészetekben való aktív részvétel segítségével. Menuhin alapgondolata szerint a művészet és az általános iskola - összekapcsolva, de sajátosságaikat tiszteletben tartva - egymás kölcsönös gazdagításának az eszközévé válik oly módon, hogy az iskolákban hivatásos művészek autentikus módon, saját művészeti projektjeiket valósítják meg, amelyek segítségével a gyermekek betekintést nyernek egy tágabb világba. A kisdiákok ezáltal olyan eszközökhöz jutnak, amelyek segítik tevékenységük kiszélesítését, aktív részvételüket a közösségi munkában, kreativitásuk kibontakozását, szabadidejük hasznos eltöltését, életminőségük javítását. A program elsődleges célcsoportja a 6-11 éves szociálisan hátrányos helyzetű, a beilleszkedési- viselkedési és tanulási zavarral küzdő, sajátos nevelést igénylő gyermekek, autisták, bevándorlók, menekültek, kisebbségek. A program hivatásos művészek által valósul meg, akik különböző művészeti ágakat képviselnek: zene, tánc, dráma, fotográfia, videó, jelmeztervezés, vizuális művészetek, szociális cirkusz.
