We are starting the autumn season with a brand new performances: don't miss out on the English-friendly premiere of Afterparty– the fictive ritual of a fictive tribe at Trafó House Budapest!

On the opening night, September 22 we invite you to an After-afterparty with DJ Papa (Tilos Rádió, Cökxpon Ambient) where you'll be able to meet the creators and performers, and scream and shout whatever is built up in you, just like we do on stage.

After the performance on the second night, September 23, we invite you to a roundtable discussion led by drummer Balázs Pándi, who will ask the performers, director Réka Szabó (world-renowned for her documentary, The Euphoria of Being) and beloved jazz singer Veronika Harcsa who collaborated on Afterparty as a sound and music trainer.

Veronika Harcsa is also involved in the fundamental research of The Symptoms

Réka Szabó - who became world-famous with the film The Euphoria of Being - and her company, The Symptoms began their rehearsal process in a completely new way and with an in-depth experimental approach. Their new artistic programme, developed with the methodology of “fundamental research” taken from the field of science, is led by a four- member “senate” consisting of Réka Szabó, Veronika Szabó, Dániel Szász and Patrik Kelemen. They experiment with the organic collaboration of sound and movement, from which, according to their ideas, a piece can evolve that can be interpreted both as a musical work and a dance theater performance. Four dancers -Viktória Dányi, Balázs Oláh, Réka Oberfrank, Kámea Farkas- and the well-known jazz singer, Veronika Harcsa also collaborate with them in the research that pushes the boundaries of art. The premier is scheduled to take place at the end of January 2021 in Trafó.

sziAttila 50

Our friend and colleague, Attila Szirtes, would be 50 years old on November 24th. You will be able to say farewell and summon his figure on this day between 12.00 and 19.00 in the Jurányi House, to which we call you this way.

The memorial place of Attila's painful absence will be created in the Theater Hall with a common installation. If you would like to share your memorabilia about Attila, please bring it with you and place it in the installation space. If you would like to tell others your story about Attila, the installation gives you the opportunity to do the same. However, it is fine too if you express your condolences only with your presence or a thread of flowers. We record the creation of the installation, from which a memorial point will be made later. Arrival is continuous, the room can accommodate up to 5 people at a time. Access is only allowed in a mask. sziAttila… we miss you, we do not forget.

Organizers: All the colleagues of The Symptoms, Collective of Natural Disasters, Jurányi House and the former colleagues of Moving House Company Venue: Jurányi House - 1027 Budapest Jurányi u. 1. - Theater room Date: November 24, 2020 from 12:00 to 19:00

Like our company, The Symptoms, our documentary, The Euphoria of Being  has been proved virus-resistant as well.

IN FACT, it has continued its conquest unbroken even in recent stormy times.

Here is a list of successes:

* Perhaps the greatest pride is that the European Film Academy has shortlisted it into the 13 best documentaries, thus it will compete for the European Film Prize in the category. The list will be narrowed to 5 on November 7 and the winner will be announced on December 12. You can cheer!

* The Polish Millennium Docs Against Gravity Film Festival gave the Best Debut Award to the film.

* The Ars Sacra Film Festival, which aims to present the rich diversity of European culture based on traditional Judeo-Christian foundations to the society through art works, gave to Réka's film the Best Feature-Lenght Documentary Award.

* In Barcelona, the Choreoscope International Dance Film Festival gave the "Portrait of a Generation" Award to the film.

* The icing on the cake that our trailer also brought the Arany Blende's Jury's Grand Prize in the competition of cinema trailers.

* What will be next? :) *

Réka Szabó's documentary film 'The Euphoria of Being', received the audience award at the DOK.fest in Munich - which has been held since 1985. The online event, which exceeds all expectations, with more than 75,000 viewers is a new record - perhaps in the history of all festivals. A total of 13,721 votes were received, and Réka's film was the first with an average of 4.82.

From now on, Réka Szabó's award-winning documentary, 'The Euphoria of Being', will be available to anyone. The decision - made jointly with Campfilm - is that anyone who visits the VoD-based site within the boundary of the country (for now) can rent the film online for a symbolic amount and watch it in excellent quality - at home. English and German subtitles can also be chosen for the film, so the work can also be viewed by foreigners living in Hungary.
