This evening is the first in a series of Babel Nights, which build on the mutually amplifying effects of different forms of artistic expression, in a hope that this richness will not result in a Babel of voices. Different arts will fuse, and broadly popular productions will meet the best of subcultures. Each event will have its own theme, passion being the focus of the first night.
This novel variety show features pop and world music, slam poetry and alternative theatre, stand-up co...medy and video art. Quimby contribute their always stirring alternative rock to the passionate mood of the first Babel Night, while Romengo bring the astonishing emotional density of the music of the Vlach Roma to the mix. The Klári Pataky Company put a contemporary twist on the passion that fuels tango, while Krisztina Tóth will enchant and disconcert with her intimately toned poetry. The whirl of genres will be made complete by the premiere of a short film, which was made for a competition of Palace of Arts.
The organizers of Babel Night opened a competition for short films with the subject of passion. Of the fourteen nominations, Sándor Csoma's The Boat was found best, and will be included in the programme of the night.
Presented by: Palace of Arts
