Honeybeast, Cinema Trip

Honeybeast, who explore the boundaries of funk and funky pop and rock have enjoyed countless albums and hits. The 2014 track A legnagyobb hős (The Greatest Hero) was a particularly highlight, racking up 24 (!) million views. The group has enjoyed some unusual tours in recent times and will be bringing a truly unique show to Müpa Budapest. As the group's singer - not to mention graphic designer and artistic director - Zsófia Tarján put it, with the Cinema Trip production, "We planned an entire stage backdrop with a semicircular projection, creating a 3D effect that we, the band playing on the stage, are also a part of, and which features real and imaginary locations that appear in Honeybeast songs.”

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
