�I have assembled the material of my concert from chamber pieces which represent the main stages of my career as a composer. The Dramatic Story, the Annals of Nature and some pieces of the Dance Music series will be performed for the first time ever, which emphasises the central role of the piano and human voice in the pieces I have composed so far. From among the chamber pieces I wrote earlier, the Quartetto and the Psalmus search for the extreme possibilities inherent in vocals and vowels, while the Tranquillity reflects the experiences of a study tour in Japan� (L�szl� S�ry)

According to their artistic credo, their aim was to present 20^th century and contemporary music, domestic and foreign alike, to a broad audience, and to inspire new works. The orchestra appeared at prestigious locations in Europe, and their name is associated with several world premieres. They are the recipients of several ARTISJUS Awards. Mr. L�szl� Tihanyi, adjunct professor of the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy, is one of the founders of the orchestra. He is also conductor and artistic director of Intermodulation. Mr. Tihanyi is a very active and sought after participant of the Hungarian musical life, and is well known in major European centres of music by his own merit, and also as Mr. P�ter E�tv�s� co-conductor and assistant.

All three works reflect to the major British composers from the early 20^th century� - says Christopher Austin the conductor of the concert. The speciality of the concert is that Elgar�s unfinished Symphony No. 3 can be heard which was masterly completed by Anthony Payne, a contemporary composer.

The Kampec Dolores Band was formed 19 years ago in 1984 after the breaking up of the Kontroll Group. The group has participated in several acknowledged European festivals since then. On the new album of the band (On the Back of the Bull) which has always been open to new influences, adaptations of Turkish dervish songs and Southern Indian Tamil folk songs can be heard besides the usual songs. Among the guests of the evening one finds Istv�n Grencs�, Erzsi Kiss and Szini, founding member of the group, who at present lives abroad. The last part of the program is dedicated to the Kampecid Sound Unit, which � with the help of DJ Palotai and other sound transformers � shows what new technologies can do to the Kampec repertoire

20 October 7 p.m. Th�lia Sz�nh�z

Simple Creation
Introduction to the group�s new album

The founding members of the Szi�mi have been playing together since the successful premiere of the musical Angel in the Sky, Devil on the Wall that took place in the Traf� in November 1999. Composer and guitarist J�nos Gasner and pianist L�szl� Pap�csi are playing with P�ter Szi�mi M�ller again. Saxophonist Gy�rgy L�rincz is also part of the initial set-up of the group. The new members are P�ter Szuna (bass), Dani J�key (drums) and the two backgound vocalists: Kati Lajtai and Anna M�ller. The new album (published by the Warner�1G) comes out for the Autumn Festival. The audience had a chance to hear some of the new songs and ideas at the Pepsi Festival. The title is Simple Creation (since creation is simple). Its genre is: casting for the new world. Its motto is a Hungarian pun that cannot be translated.

The multicultural characteristic of Ethno 2000 is guaranteed not only by the synthetic attempts of the contemporary and experimental avant-garde. The participants of the Millennium festival are groups and creative workshops that represent the traditions of the nationalities and minorities living in the neighbourhood in unique ways adapting the musical inspirations of remote continents.

Cain�s Hat (world premiere)

performed by: Tam�s Bak�, Bea Gold, Erzsi Kiss and B�la Pint�r

costume designer: Krisztina Remete

music: Erzsi Kiss

assistant choreographer: Ildik� M�ndy

choreographed by: G�bor Goda and the company
directed by: G�bor Goda
(subsequent performances: October 20 � 22)

The hat: an object symbolising respect and protection. The hat is a wall and a bridge. It connects, protects and hides. Humbleness and fear. The stigma of Cain is the hat itself. The performance was inspired by Lip�t Szondi�s essay Cain the Law-breaker and Moses the legislator. Moses also bears the stigma of Cain. We find the rebel and the humble person in him. Both Cain and Moses commit murder. But the latter creates laws in order to control his own destructive emotions. We inherited the emotions and the laws � this whole endless process of running amok.

assistent choreographer: �gnes Markovics and Attila S�rk�zi

choreographed and directed by: Tam�s Juronics

�The story fell in front of me. Even if I had searched for it I could not have found a better and more exciting topic giving a more precise picture of our life and society than the events of last summer. And I did not look for it. Life made it happen. It seems that it was time for me to get acquainted with failure. I became a loser. And still I won a lot in connection with this case. Emotional moments that fundamentally define my thoughts about art, truths and lies. I am sad and happy. The performance is the artistic projection � or in other words: postcriptum � of this tale, this feeling.

PS: I will not be a politician. I am an artist.� (Tam�s Juronics)
Before the performance starts, the Philip Morris Flower Ballet Award will be given out.

music: B�la Farag�
space: J�nos Cs�nyi
costume: Julcsi Kiss
directed by: J�nos Cs�nyi

The play was put together on the basis of an improvised story in 1992�93 by J�nos Cs�nyi�s company that was in the process of formation in the Merlin Theatre. The Game was played on only few occasions at that time. By now Cs�nyi�s arrangement has become even more actual because of both the plot of the play and the characters and fates that had just appeared in the Hungarian society at that time. The Game is set in a run down 7^th district pub in the early 1990�s around the beginning of the economic and social changes. Its characters are the typical figures of the transition, the members of the changing Hungarian society.

20�21 October 7 p.m. Mad�ch Sz�nh�z
Le Ballet Atlantique�R�gine Chopinot (France)
The Dance of Time (La Danse du temps)
choreographer: R�gine Chopinot

�While I was working on this choreography that was created at the beginning of the third millennium, at this symbolic point in time, I was mainly interested in the problems of the concept of time. It was clear for me that in The Dance of Time I would use the motives of stepping, running, falling, the trance and motionlessness. I am trying to dissolve these in the richness and naturalness of dancing.� (R�gine Chopinot)
(organised in co-operation with the French Institute; supported by the Dance Board of the National Cultural Core Program)

21 October 7 p.m. Th�lia Sz�nh�z
Contemporary Folk Dance Evening

The annual performance of the innovators of Hungarian folk dancing has become a regular program of the Autumn Festival.

The original and many-faced pieces of dancers trying to build a bridge between traditions and modernity are presented again in this year�s muster.

stage designer: Zsolt Khell
conducted by: L�szl� Tihanyi
directed by: Mih�ly Ker�nyi

�When writing this piece, I was mainly inspired by the fact that Gy�rgy G�m�s libretto gave me the possibility to present the events of 1956 through the life of an �ordinary� Hungarian family and thus avoid the trap of creating an empty political monument. My musical aim was to present the meaning in an objective and comprehensible manner, so the language is clear and I placed great emphasis on the comprehensibility of the text.� (B�la Farag�)

Evenings of the Contemporary Dance Theatre Association

The jury of the association tried to include in the program of the festival pieces that show where contemporary Hungarian dancing stands at present, and in which direction it is likely to move. The performances attempt to give a true picture of the level of the performers� technical skills and of the way choreographers see the world at the turn of the millennium. In the course of the evenings we will find reinterpreted traditions, the presentation of the latest efforts of Western dancing workshops, but first of all personality and sensitivity. The jury�s selection provides the broadest range of contemporary Hungarian dancers with the chance to introduce themselves to the audience.

Members of the jury: Be�ta Barda, P�l Csillag, D�ra P�czely, dr. G�bor Saj�si, Tibor V�rszegi

The Garden of Hungarians (world premiere)

music by: Csaba �kr�s, Gyula �cs
choreographed and directed by: Istv�n �nekes

The two movements of the evening of one of the oldest workshops of Hungarian contemporary dancing are marked by Csaba Horv�th and Istv�n �nekes. The excellent dancer-choreographer Horv�th has been working with the company in the past few years, while �nekes is the founding arts director of the Central Europe Dance Theatre. The scene of the Twilight is a social evening held in a 7^th district espresso. The Garden of Hungarians is based on Imre Babics�s epic poem bearing the same title and published in 1991. The two performances are connected by their uniquely surrealistic approach.

Teatr �smego Dnia: No-Man�s Land II
(see program schedule under Parasol Polonaise)

It is the fifth occasion that people interested in workshop-based alternative or experimental theatre are provided with an opportunity to view the performances supported by the Soros Foundation. Naturally, the festival may only present the productions that are regarded as the best from among the dozens of productions sponsored by the Foundation every year. The selectors believe that the eleven plays performed give a clear picture of what values the Soros Studio Theatre Program tries to support and what tendencies there are to be found in contemporary theatre workshops. The program of the Studio Theatre Days is very diverse from the point of view themes, genres and styles. Dance performances and prosaic pieces are presented in an equal portion, studio productions of professional theatres are offered by the program next to performances of groups recruited for a single occasion, the profile contains productions of freshly launched theatre workshops as well as that of alternative companies acknowledged for their decade-long traditions. Diversity is richness, the richness of the theatre � this is what the 5^th Studio Theatre Days of the Soros Foundation tries to draw attention to and of course it offers pleasant entertainment for those who enjoy special experiences.� (Istv�n N�nay)

Those who would like to get acquainted with the styles defining the 20^th century history of art, those who would like to see constructivist, surrealist, expressionist, cubist, dadaist photographs, those who would like to know what art deco and art nouveau look like in black and white (and sometimes in colour), those who are curious about how the corners of different technical instruments become charming thanks to light and perspective or how the outlines of female body are enriched in the foreground of geometric decorations, those who wonder how much magic is hidden or shown by ordinary objects, are most warmly recommended to visit the exhibition organised jointly by the Autumn Festival and the House of Hungarian Photographers.

�Jind��ch Š treit spent some time taking pictures in at least ten countries that are located far away from each other geographically, culturally, linguistically and in all other aspects. And he saw (wanted to see) that those parts of the world that were created by human beings are very similar in the Czech Republic and Japan, France and Austria, not to mention the other countries. [...] No matter where Š treit goes he sees the world from a fundamentally Czech point of view. With eyes that analyse the smallest details and notice everything but sometimes look at us with a slight twinkle while the corner of the mouth makes a hardly noticeable upward move.� (K�roly Kincses)

Jind��ch Š treit �s pictures taken in Hungary are exhibited.

Opening: 16 October, 6 p.m.

trustee: Angelika Richter

The celluloid and video films of more than twenty artists living in Berlin and other cities of the world can be viewed in eleven days. Different approaches to film have become more and more important in fine arts during the 1990�s: new narration built from fragments, �found� films, minimalist and recontextualistic ways of expression, etc. The program is a selection from the pieces of a continuously renewing traditional genre, through the screen of a metropolis � Berlin � that has become one of the definitive centres of contemporary arts recently.

Around the Centres � Questionings of the Peripheries

Opening: 21 October, 5 p.m.

Exhibiting artists:

Austria: Lois Weinberger, Munthean – Rosenblum, Sebastian Weissenbacher, Elke Kristofek
France: Alain Balsac, Patrick Raynaud
Spain: Pello Irazu, Eugenio Cano, Jordi Colomer
Czech Republic: Ivan Kaffka
Hungarian: K�roly Kelemen, J�nos Szirtes, �va K�ves
curator: L�r�nd Hegyi
Budapest is the first stop of the three-year program concerning almost 25 countries, the aim of which is to reintegrate the countries that used to belong to the periphery of Europe into the all-European cultural life. The Transposition exhibition attempts to moderate the new discussion among the former South Western, South Eastern, Central Eastern and Northern European cultural peripheries, since the artists working in these regions struggle with a similarly disadvantageous situation concerning the integration of their art. The series of exhibitions presents the activities of the young and middle-aged generation in a way that a new installation is set up in every city. The local artists are provided with an opportunity to exhibit together with the participants at the different stages of the series. This method will create a new, actual and authentic dialogue from Lisbon to Helsinki, Valencia to Budapest on the individual authenticity of contemporary arts.

Gyula Fekete�s song-cycle written to L�szl� Moholy-Nagy�s lines will be performed by the Corelli Trio at the opening.

�We would like to see around ourselves buildings on which time does not leave a trace, so we are maintaining, renovating and reinvigorating them. We can go as far as to even state that we keep falsifying things and we call it the protection of historic buildings. We know the age of a building because we are told so and not because we see the deterioration caused by time on them as we can see it on ourselves in the mirror or on a tree from the number of growth-rings. We perceive a renovated cathedral as brand new but we know that it is age-old. Our perceptions and consciousness communicate contradicting pieces of information.� (L�szl� Rajk)

Joseph Beuys Symposion and Exhibition

Joseph Beuys is one of the most influential German artists of the 20^th century. His fame does not only stem from his felt sculptures, drawings, actions, objects and films but also from his fundamental ideology, �social modelling� according to which society needs to be shaped like a sculpture is formed by the artist. At the Beuys Symposion twenty Beuys-experts analyse the aesthetic, ideological and social aspects of his oeuvre. His films and videos will be shown, his most characteristic pieces and the Beuys works donated to Hungary by Lucrezia De Domizio-Durini will be displayed in the framework of a chamber exhibition.

Special event

typewriter repair on the spot, free of charge

The typewriter became the most definitive instrument of the exchange of information in the 20^th century, while paper became the vehicle of information. The typewriter replaced handwriting at the everyday level of communication. Dailies, periodicals, editorials of publishing houses preserve the imprints of our century � mostly on A/4 size sheets. The later rival (and winner), the computer was only the shy experimental instrument of scientific and military researches at that time. Today only the QWERTY�keyboard reminds us of the typewriter. Such an instrument (completely deprived of its function) may be the perfectly archaic subject of a concept arts festival. This ultimately out-of-use (?) instrument can be destructed, transformed into a new quality, repaired or spoilt without any moralistic hesitation.... Free repair of typewriters on the spot during the day of the festival!

arts revue

Editor: Jakab L�szl� Ors�s

The basic concept of the third evening of the arts revue series is a literary fashion show which has been planned for a long time and which serves as the framework of the whole evening. Literary types fill the catwalk: the poetess, the rejected author, the young genius, the bookshop assistant, the poeta natus, the leading writer, etc. The upcoming evening of Sugar will deal more with literature than ever before but of course other genres will also be present in the revue.

14 October VI. Paulay Ede utca
Ede Day � festival in Paulay Ede street

free entrance

One of the oldest streets of Ter�zv�ros, the Paulay Ede street (earlier the �Two Saracens� street) has always been a busy street full of life. At the beginning of the nineteenth century it was an area full of wine-cellars and by the second half of the 1800�s it became a red-light district. The street was named after Ede Paulay (1836�1894) � actor, director and the head of the Hungarian National Theatre for about two decades. These days the street is going through a renaissance: restaurants, bars, galleries, caf�s have appeared in the neighbourhood of the old and well-known institutions. On the occasion of the Ede-day (13 October) the one-day festival initiated by the European Cultural Foundation commemorates the joyful traditions and the eponym of and the numerous cultural workshops operating in the street.

�And let me stress here that I am not talking about a specific head of state, past or the present; rather my concern is with laying bare the way in which political speakers in general use the language. My aim was to create the most credible composite picture possible, rather than to focus on a particular ideology and its representatives.

In creating a radio drama along these lines it once again seemed essential to me achieve real correlation between approach and production; this unity is something I have striven for since the earliest days of my work as a composer and radio dramatist.� (Mauricio Kagel; English translation: Keith Bullivant)

We will see an abundant selection of films we love so much; we can get acquainted with Kristý na Lhot�kova, whose dance theatre is � in the opinion of Czech critiques � the greatest surprise of the past season. We will get a chance to hear again the Kop�r Rozsywal Bestar band, the arrangement of which (contrabass, saxophone, accordion) results in a completely unique sound. And of course beer will be served all night long in the Staropramen beer-house to make the Prague-feeling complete.

27�28 October Alm�ssy t�ri szabadid�k�zpont
Le petit Voyage
cultural festivals of the Seventies and Eighties

editors: Ott� Bence, �gnes Kar�csony, Andr�s Pik�

Le Petit Voyage is a feature film by Mih�ly Buz�s. It is about the teenage years of the generation whose members are in their thirties today. It is about the soft declining period of the K�d�r regime, about the forms of instinctive rebellion. The screening of the film is combined with a festival, which provides a chance to figure out whether this generation is able to soberly face itself and its cultural achievements.

Does this generation have common characteristics concerning the ways of life of its members besides the individual careers? What cultural experiences shaped its philosophy from the mid-70�s until the late 80�s? Le Petit Voyage wishes to talk about tastes and failures, cults and rebellions in a playfully analytical and amusing way and also with some nostalgia at times.

The foundation also applies advertisements and giant posters against this phenomenon. Their ultimate goal is to establish a �bottom-up� movement.

Teatr �smego Dnia: No-Man�s Land II

The almost thirty-year-old company from Poznan is one of the great European legends of theatre. The �smego Dnia has fulfilled the role of both a creative and an ideological workshop since the beginning: its emanation may be perceived in the whole Eastern European region. The company has developed a unique creative method based on collective improvisation. This is how their performances are put together. The actors write the texts, the script, prepare the scenery, the action and they create the visuality, the unique expressive force of acting, which is based on total body language and music.

10 p.m.
concert of Zbigniew Namys�owski and the Ryszard Kruza Quintet

Besides Tomasz Sta�ko and Micha� Urbaniak, Namys�owski is the third world famous star of Polish jazz � he has been playing this music since the 1950�s. He made his first appearance in the USA in 1963, when he played together with the band of the late Krzysztof Komeda (Roman Polanski�s composer) at the famous Newport festival. He has been the recipient of the title of the best European alto saxophone player awarded by European and American jazz magazines.
