From mid-March to the end of May, the Archivum’s program series entitled PETŐFI MIRAGES is not about Petőfi’s life and art, but about the history of Petőfi’s memory and its various aspects. We have been chasing Petőfi’s mirage for 176 years. A series of events, including film screenings, theater performances, readings, and talks, will offer insights into this history.
May 3, Wednesday, 6:00 p.m. – How Did They Look for Petőfi? Discussion and music.
The event is in Hungarian.

The figure, poetry, and memory of Petőfi have appeared in folklore in many forms. We present the main features of Petőfi’s popular memory with prose and musical illustrations and show how subsequent research tried to follow this up, what was found, and what became of its results.
Participants in the discussion and musical contributors: Ildikó Landgraf, Katalin Juhász, and Zoltán Szabó
Moderated by András Mink
