Roaming Through the Chapters of the Budapest Grand Novel

The stories will be read by TÁP Theatre artists in the exciting spaces of the City Hall, allowing visitors to discover both the new literary creation and the previously unknown details of the huge building.

More info

The Budapest Big Novel is a city novel in which the texts are maps: the reader can visit the different districts, periods, streets and buildings of Budapest, and meet people and destinies everywhere. And although it draws on the experiences of the past century and a half, it also tells of the mood, worldview, challenges and dreams of the present.

The Budapest Spring Festival will once again feature a special reading theatre event, with three guided literary walks in total, during which groups can listen to chapters from 6 to 6 districts. Each group will be randomly assigned and the order of the stories they will hear during the walk will be determined.
