Michael Sznunit Lélekmadara könyv alakban már az egész világot bejárta és most e kétszemélyes előadásban életre kel. A produkcióban szöveg és mozgás egymást kiegészítve, megerősítve és árnyalva mutatja be az érzések, hangulatok sokszínű világát.

The fusion of jazz and folk music, folk dance and contemporary dance interspersed with improvisations. Performance by Zoltán “Batyu” Farkas (gardon, tapan, dance) folk dancer and choreographer, who is a resident of the house and Mihály Borbély (tárogató, clarinet, saxophone, recorder, kaval) musician, member of the Vujicsics band.

The year the house was built was the year when the highest number of operettas, precisely 51, were presented in Vienna. The genre became popular in Budapest, as well and in 1910 the operettas The Count of Luxembourg and Gipsy Love were presented in Budapest. Our performance evokes this vibrant time.

The original decorations of the house were lost various times, which led us to pay special attention to the surface of the inner walls. With the help of Asztalom Workshop from Gödöllő, visitors can now try stencilling with a majolika pattern from the 1900s, created by the British Henry Richards.

One of the highlights of the house has just regained its old splendour. The restorer moved into the house for half a year, cleaned the original gate of any unnecessary parts (including shrapnels from World War II) with meticulous work, refilled the missing parts and treated the surface. Now he is back to talk about the story of the restoration and show us the tools of his trade.

The main entrance received its crowning feature in 2018 when the beautiful wrought iron canopy, created by blacksmith Bence Kulcsár, was installed above it. Our guest will show us this artefact and many others, and he will also talk about the secrets of traditional blacksmithing.
