Müpa Budapest is once again expanding this popular series, which so far includes Literarium, Literarium Extra and Poetry Recitals at Müpa Budapest. The monthly Literarium Junior, held in either the Festival Theatre or the Glass Hall, showcases contemporary and classical literature evenings, occasionally including material from the high-school curriculum. Geared towards teenagers, it is no secret that these informal lectures, discussions, readings and meetings are designed to be 'user-friendly' and help students understand Hungarian literature in a new light, learn to appreciate its value and in the process inspire them to become regular readers.

A joint performance from two of the most popular poets of the generation closest to the high school audience promises a real literary adventure, where slam poetry alternates with 'serious' poems and where students can recognise their own thoughts and problems. The performers are not only great poets and slammers, but also have an excellent stage presence, so boredom is utterly excluded from this program. The audience will receive a superb flavour of how different the language and sound of 'new literature' is to what we know from our reading experiences and our knowledge of the classics.

Age: 14-18 year
