ALADDIN

Dés. For decades a byword for excellence on the Hungarian music scene. A considerable number of musicals, film scores, major hits and jazz albums is attached to his name. His best-known songs include Nagy utazás, Vigyázz rám, Olyan szépek voltunk, Legyen úgy and Mi vagyunk a grund. In addition to these popular songs, performed with invited guest artists and an excellent band, we will also hear new compositions. An evening on which music becomes at once a celebration, a reunion and an unforgettable experience.

Emmet Cohen has clearly got what it takes. It goes without saying that he is a brilliant pianist who knows to strike a chord with his fellow musicians – legendary figures such as Ron Carter and Benny Golson, leading artists of today like Joshua Redman and Christian McBride, and even the bright hopes of tomorrow, such as Samara Joy and Mejdi Owens – and how to connect with his audience, whether in a jazz club, a concert hall, or online.

Recirquel’s new production, Paradisum explores the myth of rebirth following the silence of a destroyed world, where the means of communication is the body, and the only common language is movement. The creatures of this idyllic existence unfold from the ever-changing, swirling natural forces of the ‘fabric of life’ that pulsates around them, so they can reach the anima mundi, the world soul, through scenes of purification, birth, awakening and ritual.
