The week will start on Friday with a concert by the folk group Harangláb, to be followed by a performance of Swedish writer Lars Norén's drama Night is the Mother of the Day in Hungarian with Swedish subtitles, featuring Péter Dóczy, Ágnes Csere, Tamás Mészáros and Attila Pomlényi.
With the support of Hungary's Film Union, director Róbert Alföldi's film Tranquillity and the Dárday-Szalai director couple's film The Emigrant, about Hungarian writer Sándor Márai's last years, will be shown. Writer Attila Bartis has been invited for a discussion of his novel Tranquillity, which was adapted for film by Alföldi. The novel will be published in Swedish this autumn. A recently published Swedish translation of selected poems by Sándor Weöres will be presented at the city library. The event will be attended by the translator Ove Berglund.
