Route: Pusztavacs - Kiskunfélegyháza - Jászszentlászló - Zsombó - Bordány, Kisapáti farm

Meeting point: in front of Trafo at 9 am

We travel to different regions of the country with this project, where we engage with local communities about issues we have in common. The aim of the trip is to exchange experiences and initiate dialogue on topics that affect us all, although we experience them differently.

Our first trip takes us to southern Hungary, where drought is a pressing public issue that accompanies us throughout the Homokhátság region:

- In Pusztavacs, in the geographical center of Hungary, Zsófi Rebeka Kozma and Imre Vass recall the infamous Peace Festivals of the 1980s, and set out to find the true center of Hungary.

- In Kiskunfélegyháza, at the former Pharao Disco, Piramis Dance VFSE and two dancer-choreographers, Emese Cuhorka and Viktória Varga, are preparing a performance.

- In Jászszentlászló, we come into close contact with the landscape and its changes with the help of water management activist Csaba Toldi, livestock farmer and ethnographer Gergely Lajkó, and the SVUNG research group (Borsos Luca, Thury Zita).

- In Zsombó, Katalin Bitó and Sasu Korom will dance a choreography about the consequences of human intervention in an idyllic setting that bears witness to ecological challenges.

- In Bordány, at the Kisapáti farm, we explore the question of loneliness with choreographer Zsófia Szász, who transforms her solo piece Softloneliness, which was a huge success at the Under500 and NEXT festivals, into an unconventional duet with Katalin Kisapáti.

Practical information for bus travelers:

- We leave at 9 a.m. SHARP and arrive late in the evening. However, there are many stops along the way, and we only stay in the bus for more than an hour at a time on the way back.

- A hot dinner (with a vegetarian option) is included in the program, but LUNCH IS NOT included. You can buy a separate lunch ticket, which includes pizza (with meat and vegetarian options).

- In addition to the main meals, please bring your own snacks and drinks, as there will be no stops where we plan to shop or eat.

- We will be outside a lot during the day and in the evening, so please bring warm clothes. Also, the bus will depart even if it rains, so please take this into account.

- And don't leave your swimsuits at home.

Practical information for local audiences who can join us at certain stops along the route:

The program is free for local residents.
