László Göndör – Péter Hajmási: Quarantine Show – back to reality
can be followed only online
Two showmen who dominated the darkest pits of online life in the quarantine period, Shark and Ladder have decided to leave the scene of the only “success” they had in their lives so far: the studio of the online quarantine show, and they will appear – after more than four months – at the ultimate place of their unsuccess, to the so-called “reality”. >>>

Áron Porteleki: Áron Porteleki’s cloak – Experience of Insight
can be followed online and live
My home is around an hour bike ride from my rehearsal room. I’ve taken this trip almost every day in the past 3 months, most of the time I rode on the Buda side of the city completely empty, on a route where human presence and car traffic were minimal. I got to know my hometown from many whole different, unknown aspects; new moods, new colours. I repeatedly toyed with the idea of what it would like to be a street musician without an ‘audience’, who seemingly only plays music for himself, but actually plays for a larger ‘soul’ – the city. >>>
1 July 2020 12.00-17.00
Marcell Murányi: Bug
can be followed only online
COVID-19 turned the Anthropocene back to the Holocene. As people disappeared from the urban public spaces the animals carefully made their way into these deserted realms. But this period ended very quickly. Restarting human life has pushed back all other living creatures once more.
My projekt reflects on the relationship between the recovering city and nature.Thus it is not for people primarily. >>>
3 July 2020 16.00-21.00
Ine van Horen: Blaha-Walk
can be followed online and live (at Blaha Lujza square)
What do we want to see in our big cities?
How anonymous do we need to accept the architecture and how can we relate to it?
How can the presence of the camera be a gentle katalysator to get in touch with the surroundings?
It all started with an image made the 5th of June 2018, when I had the luck to capture the open structure of the market-place building at Blaha Lujza tér… >>>
5 July 2020 14.00-19.00
Viola Lévai: Together with the Space
can be followed online and live
Within the project I plan to take a conscious presence trip in the centre of Budapest, to grasp the space in its complexity. For me, space is a form that affects all the senses: a tactile, visual, aural, dynamical, rhythmical and fragrance experience. Not constant and motionless, but constantly changing because of the flow of stimulations. It draws a path, surrounds us, gives an atmosphere. >>>
7 July 2020 10.00-15.00
Lili Stern – Bálint Antal: Soundtrack of the City
can be followed only online
Do you think that the apathy we often feel towards each other and our environment is an important global problem? You don’t have enough time to process the impact of our city? Do you feel like communal spaces are neglected and unused in Budapest? >>>
9 July 2020 15.30-20.30
Juhász Gergő Kaska: Make It Visible
can be followed only online
There are several people who are pleased to decorate the walls of their home with family photos. By analogy, pictures of homeless people should appear in the street. Especially because in their physical reality they cannot be there as it has been a criminal offence since 2018. >>>
11 July 2020 16.45-21.45
Sophie Zoletnik– Lennart Paar: Together Alone
can be followed online and live
Just a few months ago our most precious commodity was time. We were restless, calendars full of rehearsals, heads full of ideas, and in all honesty too many things to do. Then all of a sudden we get time, unlimited time, time for ourselves and for each other. >>>
13 July 2020 16.00-21.00
Szeri-Páll-Muskovics: The Archive
can be followed only online
Viktor Szeri, Tamás Páll, and Gyula Muskovics work with a variety of media, technologies, and game mechanisms to create immersive and liminal environments that exist on the verge of virtual and physical space. Their performances are characterized by the combination of augmented reality, dance, and poetry. >>>
15 July 2020 11.00-16.00
Ágens: The divine plague
can be followed online and live
Ágens – during a private ‘story writing’ – will reveal some hidden parts of the city, and also its iconic places and iconic figures. During this finder game, Ágens lives an exploratory, and analyst walking at the past (it’s the result of the contemplative time of the Covid19) and she steps in interaction with her casual audience, and also with the local community, through Camus’s (Archives de La Peste) and her texts. >>>
17 July 2020 16.00-21.00
Márton Kovács (violin) and Ádám Móser (accordion): Wandering soundcarpet
can be followed online and live
Two musicians are wandering in the city. Together or on separate paths. They eventually meet during their meandering routes.
They’re watching and listening to the noises of the city, stopping for a coffee while playing music, weaving new tunes in the ever-changing soundcarpet of streets and squares. >>>
19 July 2020
Imre Vass: #takingasecond
can be followed only online
From one day to the next, toilet paper became a symbol of special significance. An ordinary object that protected us from the pandemic during the state of emergency (ownership of dozens of toilet paper rolls enhanced our security) and helped us to ease our crave for shopping as well. >>>
21 July 2020 15.00-20.00
Anna Margit – St. John Mckay: We’re Planting Sunflowers, Could You Please Help Us?
can be followed online and live
If you’re feeling like a little civil disobedience, but aren’t quite ready to take it off Facebook, you’re in luck! Virtually follow us out on the streets of the 8th district for an uprising — of sunflower plants!
As we take over little unmanaged sidewalk plots for planting sunflower seeds, feel good knowing you’re sticking-it-to-the-man from your couch. >>>

12 July 2020 16.00-21.00
dollardaddy’s: Emma Bovary is walking again
can be followed only online
Just like Emma Bovary, we all lost contact with reality under the present, changed circumstances. Or with what we thought to be real. The borderline between fiction and reality has blurred, this era (which has past, but still stayed present) often seems as if we were in a dream. The everyday life is not everyday anymore. >>>
15 July 2020 15.00-20.00
Zsolt Sőrés: “Listen” Revisited, when The City is Still Naked
can be followed online and live
starting point: György Krassó’s tomb in Fiumei street cemetery
arrival point: Phoenix bár, József krt. 14.
Years ago, I was asked to reconstruct Max Neuhaus’s sound art piece Listen.
As a result during the current psychogeographic walk (also reinterpreting the soundwalk Listen) we will use dérive to explore some situationalist urban locations. >>>
17 July 2020 6.00-11.00
Ziggurat Project (Flóra Eszter Sarlós & Emese Kovács): Invisible Traces
can be followed online and live
No more touch. In order to protect our physical and mental well-being 8-15 hugs per day is recommended, as the physical touch reduces the stress and strenghtens the immune system. In the new situation we protect ourselves with not touching each other!? What effect does this distance have on us? >>>
22 July 2020 16.00-21.00
STEREO AKT: PROvision
can be followed only online
Bored of staying in but still not quite ready to leave your apartment? Did you have to cancel your summer vacation to a certain Central European hotspot? Don’t waste another minute browsing online streaming sites, and instead join us for an unforgettable urban tour, all from the comfort of your own home! >>>
24 July 2020 17.00-22.00
Dávid Somló: Ringing
can be followed online and live
For me the most difficult thing of the recent period was my unfocused state, to where I was pushed by the feeling of losing control of the events of my life. Hence for my five hour walk, I have chosen a precisely followable, meditative task. >>>
