Müpa Budapest's young audience needs no introducation to the hugely successful Fun Twister and Secret Sack events, nor to their host, Szilvia Bognár. On this adventure spiced with much laughter and even more music, she will be accompanied by a four-piece band: Péter Bede on saxophone and recorder, Csaba Gyulai on various percussion instruments, and Máté Hámori on guitar, while we will also welcome Zoltán Kovács, the man who is also composer of the programme, alongside the double bass. The specialist area that gives the team its identity is the good-natured reworking of folk songs, as well as the setting to music of the classic poems of Hungarian literature. Beyond all that, this special edition for carneval will boldly select from nursery rhymes, games and songs for this time of year. Of course, there will also be a place for dance as carnival was once not so long ago the most important season of feasting, but even today there are balls and festivities that bring together the young and old of the village. We know very well that King Konc is on the throne at this time, but if voivode Cibere should win, then winter will slowly evaporate: the heavy, greasy meals will all be eaten as the grey of winter will be followed by lent, and of course the long-anticipated spring.
