SUMMARY:The Song of the Cosmos – Attila József Selected Poems (Shearsman Books\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch and Conversation with Editor and Translator Ágnes Lehóczky and Adam Piette \nThe translations by Piette and Lehóczky form a five-year-long project with an ambition to translate a significant selection of the poems of the modernist\, socialist\, working-class Hungarian poet\, Attila József (1905-1937). József lived a poverty-stricken\, passionate\, and unstable life as a wanderer\, a bohemian\, a poet\, a thinker\, a non-conformist\, a hobo\, and a lover till his untimely death by suicide\, struck by a train\, in Balatonszárszó on Lake Balaton\, aged only 32. His poetry is surrealist\, existentialist\, Villonesque\, tough-minded\, quasi anarchist\, deeply drenched in Hungarian folklore and the folk song\, passionate\, lyrical\, elegiac\, marked by his solitary wandering\, his keen observation of the lives of the people\, by his psychoanalytically inflected gaze into the unconscious\, into the mind and body of lovers\, his philosophical focus on dialectic and social injustice. \nThe lyrics\, free verse and formal\, in an astonishing number of experimental forms\, range from the metaphysical to the memoir\, have filiations to French medieval\, post-symbolist and surrealist poetry\, fuse Nietzsche\, Marx\, Hegel and Freud in daring raids on the inarticulate\, sing with haunting vernacular and ancient beauty and rise to extraordinary heights and flights of the imagination\, yet are always grounded in the real\, in the concrete particulars of the metropolis\, the dark streets of the underclasses of this world. \nThis bilingual volume presents a chronological selection of József’s poetry\, featuring both English translations and the original Hungarian texts. With introductions and afterwords by Ágnes Lehóczky\, George Szirtes\, György Tverdota\, Aranka Kemény and Adam Piette\, the book aims to recreate ‘The Song of the Cosmos’\, an unpublished collection József envisioned in the early 1920s. ‘Cosmos’ here isn’t the physical universe but rather the soul expanded to cosmic proportions\, a ‘universe imbued with a political subject’. The volume incorporates a faithful and playful reconstruction of the original graphic design\, conceived by József’s artist friend György Békeffi in the 1920s. \nÁgnes Lehóczky \nÁgnes Lehóczky’s poetry collections published in the UK are Budapest to Babel (Egg Box\, 2008)\, Rememberer (Egg Box\, 2012)\, Carillonneur (Shearsman\, 2014)\, Swimming Pool (Shearsman\, 2017)\, Lathe Biosas\, or on Dreams & Lies (Crater Press\, 2023) and Apropos Paradise Square (Pamenar Press\, 2025). She also has three full poetry collections in Hungarian published in Budapest: Ikszedik stáció (Universitas\, 2000)\, Medalion (Universitas\, 2002) and Palimpszeszt (Magyar Napló\, 2015). \nShe is the author of the academic monograph Poetry\, the Geometry of Living Substance – comprising four essays on the poetry of Ágnes Nemes Nagy (2011). Her pamphlet Pool Epitaphs and Other Love Letters was published by Boiler House Press (2017). She co-edited major international anthologies: the Sheffield Anthology (Smith/Doorstop\, 2012) with Adam Piette\, The World Speaking Back to Denise Riley (Boiler House\, 2018) with Zoë Skoulding\, Wretched Strangers (Boiler House\, 2018) with J. T. Welsch and most recently the ‘Monk Collective’ with Adam Piette (Blackbox Manifold\, 2023). Fission of Being – Endnotes on Earthbound was commissioned by The Roberts Institute of Art\, London in 2021. She is Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and Director of the Centre for Poetry and Poetics at the University of Sheffield. Lehóczky edited The Song of the Cosmos – Attila József Selected Poems (Shearsman Books\, 2026) which she co-translated with Adam Piette. \nAdam Piette \nAdam Piette is Professor of Modern Literature at Sheffield. He is the co-editor of the international contemporary poetry journal Blackbox Manifold with Alex Houen. He is author of Remembering and the Sound of Words: Mallarmé\, Proust\, Joyce\, Beckett; Imagination at War: British Fiction and Poetry\, 1939-1945\, and The Literary Cold War\, 1945 to Vietnam. He edited the special issue of Translation and Literature on “Modernism and Translation”\, The Salt Companion to Peter Robinson with Katy Price (2007) and The Edinburgh Companion to Twentieth-Century British and American War Literature with Mark Rawlinson (2012). His poetry collections are: nights as dreaming (Constitutional Information / earthbound press)\, CCCLXV with Crater Press (October 2025)\, and Lies Blurring Here with Broken Sleep (2026). He is the co-translator\, with Ágnes Lehóczky\, of The Song of the Cosmos: Selected Poems of Attila József (Shearsman Books\, 2026). He is currently co-editing an edition of Australian poet Catherine Vidler’s work with Amelia Dale and A.J. Carruthers for Puncher & Wattman.

That’s how long Hamlet had to mourn before his father’s ghost appeared and asked him to avenge his death. The time is out of joint. And somehow\, for some reason\, it’s Hamlet who has to set it right. Someone who was supposed to be a poet now has to become a soldier. \nThe play is 130 minutes long\, including one intermission (15 minutes)\, and will be performed in Hungarian with English surtitles. \n\nDirector: Vladimir Anton \nDramaturg: Réka Dálnoky \nAssistant dramaturg: Bernadette Brok \nStage design: Măriuca Ignat and Vladimir Anton \nStage adaptation: Vladimir Anton\, Réka Dálnoky\, and Bernadette Brok \nHungarian translation: Ádám Nádasdy \nActors: Martin Berencsy\, Bence Dull\, Hunor Fazakas\, Zsolt Harsányi\, Botond Jánosi\, Péter Kiss\, Levent Kitay\, Máté Bátor Soós\, Orsolya Szilágyi\, Anna Torner \n\n\nDon’t miss out on this timeless tragedy of conscience and revenge\, translated by acclaimed Hungarian linguist and poet Ádám Nádasdy\, and brought to life by Vladimir Anton as a bold new adaptation. \nVladimir Anton is a theatre director\, university lecturer\, and the artistic director of the Csíki Játékszín Theatre.

SUMMARY:Wandering the World\, Wondering How to Return – Monodrama in One Act – When Diary Notes Grow into Literature
DESCRIPTION:For five years\, acting student Anna Torner travelled across the world\, documenting her experiences and inner journey in blog posts. From London to South America\, from India to New Zealand\, her travel journals eventually grew into her 2024 novel\, Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either)\, which traces a young woman’s coming-of-age through her diary entries. \n\nIn 2025\, Boglárka Berecz and Mátyás Dögei adapted the book for the stage\, with Péter Vargyas composing its music and writing the lyrics. Thus was born the monodrama Wandering the World\, Wondering How to Return–a sensitive and humorous theatrical piece that takes the audience through this intimate journey of self-discovery. \nThroughout Anna Torner’s creative path – moving between writing and acting – her blog posts evolved into works of literary merit\, while acting became a defining part of her life. \nJoin us for this special performance\, which aims to offer us all relatable touchstones and answers. \n\n\n\nSynopsis \nIt takes one hour to fly from Budapest to Târgu Mureș. Travelling through England\, Asia\, and South America – sometimes by bicycle\, car\, train\, on foot\, by bus\, ship\, truck\, ferry\, tractor\, boat\, or motorbike – alone\, but never completely alone\, the same journey can take five years. \nThe journey matters more than the destination. I move like a ghost through a Parisian apartment. Pink ponies in London. In the junky quarter\, I swim across the canal with you. We cycle around Southeast  Asia and New  Zealand. Without you\, I hitchhike on Mexican trucks\, my Christmas dinner is green banana boiled with callaloo leaves\, and I rewrite the rules of wild camping. Don’t look for happiness outside. I try what’s worth trying in Colombia\, dance at a Kichwa celebration in Ecuador\, travel through Peru with Tata\, and get close to the Big Dipper itself. Without you. Home is within you. By the time I return\, maybe my phone will finally ring. \nThe performance runs 1 hour and 15 minutes and will be performed in English. \n\n\n\nDirector: Boglárka Berecz\nDramaturg and musical director: Mátyás Dögei\nPerformed by: Anna Torner\nLive music and vocals: Péter Vargyas\n\n\n\nWhen a young woman gathers her savings and buys a one-way ticket to Mexico – and keeps going\, farther and farther still – she can be sure to stumble upon a thousand little stories along the way. She sleeps in roadside motels\, trucks\, tents\, and pay toilets. Cooks banana soup in a Rasta hut in Belize\, finds surrogate parents in Peru\, argues with soldiers in the Indian mountains\, and ends up in a quarantine hostel in New Zealand. She babysits\, fries doughnuts\, tends bar\, and shears sheep. She makes friendships for life. Sometimes she curses the very idea of living in the moment – and herself. Because what are a thousand adventures compared to a fulfilled love? Then she’s off again\, speeding into the sunset on a truck bed. Or moves into a flat on Dob Street\, Budapest. And then moves on once more\, always farther – until… What does it really mean to arrive? \nAnna Torner travelled the world for five years. Her novel – born from blog entries and perhaps letters never sent – is both a travelogue and a diary\, written for those who keep searching\, with endless curiosity\, for their own path. \nLeonidasz Purosz\, editor of Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either)

SUMMARY:Meet the artist - Guided Tour & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by Géza Starmüller\, this workshop takes a participatory artistic format\, fostering direct dialogue between artists and audiences. Participants are encouraged to engage in shared creative processes and moderated discussions\, exploring themes of philosophy\, history\, and contemporary art. The programme moves beyond traditional presentation models\, emphasising collaboration\, critical thinking\, and collective reflection in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. \nThe guided tour offers an open platform where artistic practice and intellectual exchange meet in a live\, communal\, and warm setting. \n\n\nGéza Starmüller (b. 1966\, Cluj) is a contemporary visual artist and sculptor based in Transylvania. The fourth generation of artists in his family\, his practice is rooted in a lifelong engagement with art\, supported by both family heritage and formal training. He studied sculpture at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca and further developed his practice through private mentorships and international art camps. \nWorking primarily with conceptual and spiritual foundations\, his artistic language unfolds through oil painting and bronze sculpture\, and more occasionally through stone and wood. His work explores the moment when spirit penetrates matter\, an approach he defines as cosmic surrealism. Influenced by philosophy\, diverse cultures\, personal life experience\, and place\, his creative process often begins with an intuitive vision that matures over the years into its final form. \nStarmüller has participated in numerous national and international group exhibitions and has contributed to major public art projects\, including the restoration of the Statue of Liberty in Arad\, as well as other monuments in Romania and abroad.

SUMMARY:Shadow Fate - Theatre Performance for the Day of Hungarian Culture
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the Day of Hungarian Culture\, we warmly invite you to the one-act performance\, Shadow Fate on January 22\, 2026\, at Hungary House\, produced by Klebelsberg Castle Chamber Theatre. \n\nThe drama is based on the diary ‘Our Life Path’ by Sarolta Botka\, wife of Kuno von Klebelsberg. Through her perspective\, the audience can get a glimpse into the daily life of this exceptional politician and his love and marriage\, revealing a tableau of the 20th century’s dramas—from the fall of the Monarchy and Trianon\, through the two world wars\, to communist deportation. Sarolta’s viewpoint illuminates Klebelsberg’s human character and achievements\, while her post-WWII ordeals as a widow highlight the paradoxical cruelty of communism. \nFollowing her successful drama Ilona Zrinyi\, Mária Hedry brings this tumultuous life to the stage: Klebelsberg’s figure and his era’s contradictions take center stage through Sarolta’s lonely fate. The play draws on scholarly research—including works by Gábor Ujvári\, István Bethlen\, and Ignác Romsics—alongside contemporary sources\, enriched by the author’s imagination. \nCount Kuno von Klebelsberg (1875–1932) was a defining cultural politician of interwar Hungary. As Minister of Religion and Public Education (1922–1931)\, he implemented reforms to address Trianon losses: building thousands of rural schools\, modernising universities\, promoting folk education\, and founding overseas cultural institutes (Collegium Hungaricum) for national survival. \nThe 80-minute\, one-act performance will be performed in Hungarian with English subtitles. \n\n\nCast: \n\nSarolta: Edit Majzik\nEmma\, Márta\, Hubayné\, Róza\, peasant woman: Delinke Gajdó\nSzentgyörgyi\, doctor\, German officer\, Russian officer\, Hungarian comrade: Attila Petneházy\n\nSet\, costumes: Katalin Libor\nDirector: Attila Petneházy

SUMMARY:Peter Peri in Conversation with Dávid Fehér - Book launch and display of recent paintings
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Liszt Institute London for an evening celebrating the launch of a new monograph on Peter Peri\, published by Einspach Czapolai Fine Art. \nPeri will be in conversation with Dávid Fehér\, Director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts. Their discussion will explore Peri’s artistic practice\, key themes in his work\, and the ideas shaping his most recent projects\, offering insight into both the newly published monograph and his wider artistic trajectory. \nThe event will also feature a display of Peri’s latest paintings in the gallery\, providing a unique opportunity to experience his practice first-hand alongside the critical perspectives presented in the publication. \nCopies of the book will be available on site. All are welcome to attend\, register via Eventbrite. \n\n\nPeter Peri (b. 1971\, London) \nPeter Peri’s primary media are drawing\, sculpture\, and painting: three distinct bodies of work that are developed independently by the artist to create a complex set of interrelations. All works are specifically invested in the tension between line and volume\, figuration and abstraction\, and in the questioning of tradition and influence in Modernism. \nA graduate of Chelsea College of Art\, he made his debut at Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2003. He has exhibited widely internationally\, including Tate Britain\, the Hayward Gallery\, and Kunsthalle Basel. Peri’s work can be found in the collections of Tate\, the Victoria & Albert Museum\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Budapest. Peri’s work has a personal connection to Modernism. His grandfather was Peter László Péri (1899–1967)\, a Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning to architecture and later in his life to Realism. \n\n\nDávid Fehér \nDávid Fehér is an art historian\, director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and assistant professor at the Institute of Art History at the Eötvös Loránd University. His research covers 20th-century and contemporary art\, including Pop Art\, Photorealism\, and related movements. He has curated numerous exhibitions and has published widely in academic journals\, exhibition catalogues\, and art publications. He is a member of the Hungarian Section of the International Association of Art Critics.

SUMMARY:Laura Medcalf - Sense of Calm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of Laura Medcalf’s second London solo show\, SENSE OF CALM\, at the Liszt Institute London on 11th September\, 6.00 – 8.00 pm. \nAmid the movement and energy of Trafalgar Square\, SENSE OF CALM offers a moment to pause\, a space to step away from the city’s fast pace and into something slower\, elemental\, and immersive. In this solo exhibition\, British-Hungarian multidisciplinary artist Laura Medcalf transforms the Liszt Institute into a space of stillness and presence\, shaped by open waters\, soil\, and sunlight. \nWorking with soluble\, light-sensitive crystals mixed in her unique way to paint her first layer\, Medcalf creates each of her works directly at the meeting point between land and open water. These pieces are not representations of landscapes\, but physical imprints which result from a meditative collaboration with nature. Medcalf immerses the surfaces of her works into rivers\, lakes\, and seas around the world: from Britain’s Jurassic Coast to the Danube and Tisza rivers\, the still waters of Lake Balaton\, to all the way to the Mediterranean as well as the Caribbean Sea. The sunlight\, sand\, open water\, and the weather conditions\, together with Medcalf’s layered gestural painting process\, create unique\, unrepeatable textures and tones across the surface of each work. \nThe process begins with brushstrokes applied to the paper\, which are soon set aside. Medcalf works in harmony with the environment\, allowing the organic materials gathered directly from shorelines to guide her hand. This collaboration enables the landscape itself to leave its imprint on the work. The intensity of the sun\, the texture of the soil\, and the composition of the water all play a vital role in shaping each piece. Her approach is both intuitive and exacting\, embodying a delicate balance between control and surrender. \nNone of the works has a fixed centre point. Their open\, expansive aura draws the viewer in\, radiating a sense of infinite calm. With every glance\, new forms and layers begin to unfold. Each piece holds the trace of a specific place\, allowing the ephemeral moment to become paradoxically enduring. These works are imprints of a quiet dialogue with nature and time\, silent recollections of shifting light\, gestures of weather\, subtle emotional currents\, and the transient moments of the natural world. \nAs part of the London Design Festival\, this exhibition explores how art can become more than an object of observation\, a space for stillness and inner calm. Built from organic elements\, the works establish a delicate balance between the rhythms of nature and human perception\, offering an opportunity for reflection\, renewal\, and a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. \nIn a world that rarely slows down\, SENSE OF CALM invites viewers to pause. To listen. To feel the flow. To follow the traces of light. To look beyond the surface\, towards the quiet\, invisible forces that shape us all. \nThe exhibition is open to the public 12 September – 20 October\, Monday through Friday\, 11.00 am – 7.00 pm. \nExhibition opening: 11 September\, 6.00 – 8.00 pm. RSVP essential. \nIn partnership with the London Design Festival

SUMMARY:Albert Kner – Artist\, Icon\, Legend
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening celebrating the book Albert Kner: Artist\, Icon\, Legend: Discovering His Legacy in Industrial Design\, co-authored by Robert Elton Brooker III and Ádám Erdész. This beautifully produced volume brings long-overdue recognition to one of the 20th century’s unsung creative minds. \nAlbert Kner (1899–1976) was a Hungarian-American designer whose work shaped modern packaging and graphic design. From inventing the cardboard six-pack and the flip-top cigarette box to producing compelling stage sets\, furniture\, and printed matter\, Kner’s contribution to visual culture is both diverse and visionary\, yet remains largely unknown. \nThis event will contain a presentation by Robert Brooker III on Kner’s extraordinary life and career\, tracing his journey from early typographic experimentation in Hungary to his post-war success as Design Director for America’s largest cardboard manufacturer\, where he was tasked with an unusual but inspiring challenge: make cardboard beautiful. \nThe book includes 112 striking illustrations in black and white and full colour\, showcasing Kner’s elegant\, often ahead-of-his-time design work. As designer and author Bruce Kennett writes\, “Brooker and Erdész have done a superb job in presenting Kner’s remarkable life in all its phases… A wonderful book from start to finish.” \nDon’t miss this opportunity to rediscover a hidden gem of 20th-century design history – book your spot now.

SUMMARY:Kings’ Medals - Hungary’s Millenary Royal History exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Liszt Institute London is delighted to present our second exhibition\, titled Kings’ Medals: Hungary’s Millenary Royal History. The exhibition will be open to the public between 9 May – 13 June\, Monday through Thursday\, 2-6 pm\, and Fridays\, 11 am-3 pm. \nFor over 50 years\, the Alba Regia Organisation of the Hungarian Numismatic Society has played a key role in preserving Hungary’s numismatic heritage. Between 1972 and 2012\, the organisation issued and collaborated on 54 commemorative medals celebrating the country’s royal history. \nA major milestone came in 1986 with the launch of the ‘Kings Crowned and Buried in Székesfehérvár’ medal series\, later followed by ‘Királysor’\, honouring Hungarian kings of the Habsburg dynasty. Over 25 years\, this ambitious project produced 35 medals crafted through the collaboration of renowned sculptors\, goldsmiths\, and dedicated collectors. \nThis exhibition offers a unique insight into the artistry and craftsmanship behind these medals\, showcasing original designs\, minting techniques\, and the historical figures they commemorate. A detailed catalogue provides further context\, making this a must-see for history enthusiasts\, coin collectors\, and visitors to Székesfehérvár. \nThe medals\, issued annually at the Alba Regia Numismatic Meeting\, are a lasting tribute to Hungary’s royal legacy—a tangible connection to the nation’s past\, preserved in metal for future generations.
