The program is held in Hungarian.
The Micro-Folie virtual museum, which exhibits the treasures of the world’s largest collections in a single space, will be on display in the foyer of the House of Music from 7 to 20 March. The installation will be accompanied by two educational lectures by art historian Júlia Katona. The subject of the second talk: The music and dance scene in fin-de-siècle Paris. What was the Parisian dance world like at the turn of the century? Who were its key figures? How successful were the experimental dance performances? The Paris of the turn of the century was a world full of excitement that still has something new to reveal even today. Emerging alongside its diverse range of music were new dance genres, which in turn inspired works of fine and applied arts. Genres like the cancan and tango found popularity, with experimental eurythmic productions like Loie Fuller’s Serpentine Dance also being born.
