Hot Now

In keeping with tradition, Debrecen has joined the Bach for All Festival this year, – on 21st March in the Little Church and on 31st March in the Great Church, the audience can listen to Johann Sebastian Bach’s works in concert for free.

Between 17th April and 5th May 2022, the second Bartók Spring International Art Week will feature the best of the Hungarian and international art scene, world to renowned companies, exceptional soloists, new productions, and extraordinary performances, with surprises not only in the capital but also in Debrecen.

The heroes of the revolution and the war of independence (1848) are remembered on the 15th March each year, a national holiday in Hungary, last year this was done virtually due to the pandemic, but this year things are back to normal as the mask requirements have been lifted and public gatherings are allowed.

It’s no exaggeration to say that 26th March 2022 promises to be a special day in the history of Debrecen’s popular music scene, but also in terms of the city’s identity. The first Made in Debrecen Festival, which has the ambitious goal of bringing together all the city’s musical acts in record time, will start and run for half a day, with a programme of accompanying events.

At the beginning of March, the Debrecen Zoo welcomed a pair of green tree pythons.

It is hoped that the seven-year-old female and two-year-old male will form a breeding pair, which will allow the unique species to be bred, he added. Now, they can be seen in the Pálmaház of the zoo, said the director of the zoo, Sándor Gergely Nagy.

For the first time this year, there are no wild animals in the show. The animals have been placed in the Richter Safari Park in Nagykőrös for a long-deserved holiday, but the show will still have much to offer, featuring Alex & Romy Jostmann’s poodle puppies, and circus director József Richter will perform on humpback camels and show off his latest equestrian performance.

As announced by the government, masks will no longer be required in confined spaces from the 7th of March. 

József Tasnádi’s art focuses on associations and visually generated stories; he creates imagetexts. His installations, interventions, and generative digital experiments are visual essays. Visual essays that are rewritten into stories, textual narratives, in which rich, lush, free fields of interpretation and associations unfold.

In her photographs, media artist Lilla Váczi mostly depicts the tension between impermanence and transience. The experience of confinement caused by the coronavirus epidemic has heightened the sense of alienation and loneliness in her work. He documents a life situation in which our social relationships have been reduced, our daily routine reduced to a few basic functions. Our home became a workplace, our bedroom a study, and the wearing of masks and rubber gloves became natural.

On 3rd March 2013, on the 40th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the UN General Assembly decided to add a new World Wildlife Day to the conservation calendar. Since then, World Wildlife Day has been a red letter on every nature lover’s calendar to raise awareness of the diversity of wild flora and fauna, the economic, scientific, ethical, and aesthetic values of natural assets, and the consequent need for increased protection. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species currently lists 8,400 species as critically endangered, while almost 30,000 more are listed as endangered or vulnerable, mainly due to habitat destruction caused by human activities, the introduction of invasive species, and illegal trade.

The joint exhibition of the MODEM Centre for Modern and Contemporary Art and the Déri Museum aims to showcase the museum’s Photographic Collection. Since a series of thematic exhibitions on the history of photography held in several venues in the city in the late 1980s, the museum’s pictures have not been shown as a stand-alone exhibition, apart from the exhibition of the Mai Manó House, which selected material from rural museums ten years ago.

How much fresh water can be used by humans on Earth? What kind of creatures live in a drop of water? What makes a lake pink? These questions can also be answered by anyone who follows the programs of the Agóra Science Experience Center. On the occasion of World Water Day (March 22nd), our most important natural resource is in the spotlight in the Agora in March. There are many other programmes taking place in March, see below.
