In the ’Journey in the Danube’ throwing game the participants can get know the major cities of the river. The audience can see the one-man show of the actor, Bálint Jaskó from the KOMA Company. His tragicomedy is called ’The Life of a Water Drop’.
You can investigate again, the participants of the thriller game can nose after a bloodthirsty killer. The gymnastics lovers can join to a yoga class with the Yoga Club Jalagati. If all these were not enough, we turn over the Danube. The ’Vizes Város Budapest’ Association, who organize creative workshops during the summer holiday connects to the Danube Day as well. A camera obscura will be built up by them, by the artist, Miklós Bölcskey, by a huge black shroud and by the participants. In addition you can make your own camera obscura by recycled materials, and you can take photos of the Danube by your freshly prepared cameras.
Three concerts close the day, the show of Peca and Gobé bands and the performance of Veronika Harcsa. First Gobé plays folk music on classical bases, then our golden-throated singer, Veronika Harcsa with Bálint Gyémánt presents a miracle by their performance, and finally the Peca formation, led by Barna Gábos, master of flute-making, closes the evening with some Brazilian music.
