Dragon’s Breath – Viktória Szávai and Hunor G. Szabó
The VEB2023 Ruin Concerts series continues with Viktória Szávai and Hunor G. Szabó’s (The Qualitons) performance entitled Dragon’s Breath, based on the poems of Sándor Weöres, at the location of the Jesuit church ruins in Veszprém’s Betekints Valley.
Veszprém and the Balaton Uplands have a unique wealth of medieval heritage: passing through the settlements of the region, visitors will very often come across ruins of monasteries, cloisters, churches, chapels and castles. These ruins are now being filled with life and art under the European Capital of Culture Veszprém–Balaton 2023 programme series called Ruin Concerts.
These events with a focus on literature and music are quite unlike big festivals which attract crowds: they offer a chance for more personal, more intimate meetings between artists, audiences and the environment itself. For this very reason, these events will admit a much lower number of visitors, 100-150 persons at most.
The 2022 and 2023 stations of Ruin Concerts bring literature and music to the finest ruin sites of the Balaton Uplands.
Dragon’s Breath – Viktória Szávai’s Sándor Weöres Séance / Musical accompaniment by: Hunor G.Szabó
"Viktória Szávai’s Sándor Weöres performance is a personal confession of a poetry compillation, a deeply womanly act. Ancient instinctive knowledge and wisdom embedded in playfulness characterise the unique and distinct tone of Weöres’s poems. Dragon’s Breath is a meeting of two sensitive artists – poet and actress – on stage, full of tenderness, ferocity, sexuality, power, rhythm and music."
Minimal environmental impact as well as the discovery and protection of the treasures of nature and history are the highlights of this programme series, so all performances are designed to be ZERO WASTE events:
- There will be NO catering facility on site – please bring your own food and drinks.
- Please pay attention and use the smallest possible amount of single-use packaging for the food and drinks you bring to the location. Bring your own cups and drink bottles if you can and do not pack any throwaway cups. Please take special care to throw even this minimal amount of waste into the appropriate bins.
- Compost toilets will be available on site free of charge
