We would like to inform our audience that the program of the closing event of the 10th Theatre Olympics, which will be held on 24 June at 21:00 on the Margaret Island Open Air Stage, will be changed as follows:
Instead of Béla Bartók’s “The Miraculous Mandarin”, the audience will enjoy the dance performance “In memoriam Bartók” with improvisational music by pianists Károly Binder and Gábor Varga, as well as Camille Saint-Saëns’ musical fantasy the “Carnival of the Animals” performed by pianists Gergely Bogányi and Misi Boros.
The rest of the program remains unchanged.
Thank you for your understanding!

Theatre Olympics closing event.
An unusual performance in the trees of Margaret Island around the open-air stage. Audiences are immersed in the magical world of the Midsummer night to discover the mystery of the forest. The rays of light reveal the beauty of nature and the trees, enveloping their bodies in the mist that envelops them. Figures of different arts populate the magical night.
Teatro Potlach's performance is the closing ceremony of the Theatre Olympics and is a collaboration between Aesop Studio and Quiet Ensemble (Italy), the Budapest Circus, the Budapest Puppet Theatre, the Music Academy, the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble, the Gyula Sárközi Company, and the Madách School of Dance.
On the Night of the Museums on Margaret Island, we will throw ourselves together and sacrifice on the altar of art, calling on the muses to help us. Budapest is awake on this night! Citizens, theatregoers, , leisure-seekers and all adventure-seekers of all ages can travel and discover the challenging, unrepeatable wonder of the Day and Night equality.
The wonder is where you are!
