Between the Three of Us Presented by Liszt Academy

One of the special features of kamara.hu is the conversation conducted by the two artistic directors of the festival, Izabella Simon and Dénes Várjon, with an invited writer, poet or actor. An exciting and unforgettable exchange of ideas, intricately interweaving music and literature. In 2020, the guest of the Téte-á-téte is Kossuth, Attila József and Prima Primissima Award winning writer Pál Závada, who always searches and analyses human souls and destinies in his large-scale novels. His oeuvre is thus strongly interlinked with the main message of The Little Prince and this year's festival: the importance of inner travel. In his novel entitled Idegen Testünk (Our Alien Body), Závada examines the effects of the most important traumas of the 20th century, which is yet another similarity with Saint-Exupéry, who condensed the horrors of life during World War II into a masterpiece, which at first glance appears to be a children’s book. The music cannot be left out of the program either: Tamás Érdi completes the experience with two movements from Debussy’s piano cycle written in his early period.
