"Since childhood, art has been an important part of my life. Expressing myself through art, freedom, boundlessness, playing with colours and shapes, the hand with paint. In a short time I realised, that in difficult times, what a fantastic tool for 'self-healing' the process of creation is. I have been making mandalas for five years. Space and time disappear, there is only the pure moment when one creates. My drawings are all done freehand, without the use of any tools. The pictures bring to life the world of my own imagination."
Location: Somogyi library, Clubroom, 1-4. Dóm Square
Date: April 19 – May 2.

Concert by the Jazzarosa band
Members of the band are Piroska Horváth (vocals), Péter Török (guitar), Péter Pálinkó (piano), Attila Szorcsik (bass), Zsolt Karácson (drums)
The band was founded in 2016, and its repertoire includes sophisticated, melodic jazz standards that have been performed by many well-known artists (Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Norah Jones). What makes their performance special is that they usually perform with lyrics in Hungarian, most of which are their own compositions. The songs are complemented by well-known old Hungarian hits, also in jazz style. The mood of the music is pleasant and appealing to the heart and soul. It gives the audience a positive charge and a real elegant relaxation. Each concert is unique, as the tracks are created with improvisational parts to create a special listening experience.

Szeged Contemporary Dance Company: Lear-dance drama
“No man will ever write a better tragedy than Lear” George Bernard Shaw respectfully paid tribute to his great predecessor, who is, incidentally, second only to Shakespeare in the eyes of British tradition. And it seems that “for a while, Lear will be considered Shakespeare’s greatest work, because in none of his tragedies can one hear in such detail about the concerns and problems of the modern world as in this one.” (R. A. Foakes)

Prophecy - Dance drama for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Sándor Petőfi
There is no member of this nation who has not heard of him, read him, or at least knows two lines from one of his poems. The question still arises: do we know who Sándor Petőfi was? A prophetess once said: Sándor Petőfi would become an immortal soul. Did Petőfi believe in immortality? He believed in it and strived for it. For Petőfi death opens the door to the mystery of the Universe and the path he must follow. We will follow the great poet into the Universe without "disturbing" his thoughts.
