Surreal evening from Dalí to Magritte – Tiger somersault above the clouds

6:45 p.m.–7:15 p.m. MAGRITTE – performance by the PR-Evolution Dance Company (detail)
Dance artist Zsófia Nemes is profoundly affected by the arts: she draws inspiration equally from painting, photography, film and poetry. She is open to the world and believes that the main mission of art is to impassion people. It is no wonder that she delved into the surreal world of René Magritte and brought it to life in this dance performance.

CREATIVE CORNER
7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. DESIRE-DREAM montage workshop
Surrealist artists often placed their dreams and passions at the centre of their art. This evening you can draw all the figments of your imagination and can try your hand at automatic drawing… Careful, there is a danger of blushing!

GUIDED TOUR
7:45 p.m. Existence is elsewhere” – English guided tour in the Surrealist Movement from Dalí to Magritte – Crisis and Rebirth in 1929 exhibition with Zsófia Albrecht
Surrealism intended on transforming consciousness through different artistic ways. The guided tour undercovers these unique experiments on various media

ART BONBON
Classical and contemporary reflections – music, dance, theatre, poetry, and improvisation in the collections
Music: János Vázsonyi and Réka Tóth Bernát
Dance: Eszter Szakács and Lilian Mester
Strange things happen in galleries at night. Have you ever felt that an enticing melody, a poem, or a movement would be a perfect match for a work of art as it would convey the sensation and the magic you experience when looking at it? This evening interesting melodies, well-known poems, and movements will accompany the artworks in the museum’s galleries, infusing them with new colour and life.

SELF/IMAGES
6:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. GAME OF SELF-EXPLORATION
A joint game of self-exploration inspired by the collections of the Hungarian National Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Vasarely Museum and the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts.
Wander around among the paintings, look for your own path, visit all the stations of the game and make decisions based on your personality type and taste until you find your painting alter ego.
