For the seventh time, dunaPart will bring together international presenters and the Hungarian independent performing arts scene for a few intense days of performances, conversations, and encounters. Over the years, the platform has helped introduce a new generation of artists to the international stage and has boosted the early visibility of emerging creators. One of our key goals remains to showcase new voices alongside established artists, opening doors for the next generation of Hungarian makers.

The next edition of dunaPart will take place in Budapest from 18-21 November 2026, organized by Trafó House of Contemporary Arts.

The artistic programme is composed of around two dozen performances and events selected by a curatorial team from theater, dance, puppetry, circus and hybrid works that have premiered since the last platform. The list of participating artists and companies will be announced in the beginning of August and the programme in early September. Curators of the 2026 edition are Judit BÖRÖCZ (performing arts specialist), Ádám CZIRÁK (theater and dance historian, dramaturg), Noémi HERCZOG (theater critic, aesthete), Beatrix KRICSFALUSI (theater historian), Léna SZIRMAY-KALOS (curator), Gábor THURY (curator, dramaturg). Discussions, site visits and diverse informal networking opportunities form an integral part of the platform programme.
