Trafó Kortárs Művészetek Háza

"As an open-minded and mixed use venue, Trafó House of Contemporary Arts is one of the capital’s most avantgarde institutions. It showcases many genres from dance to new circus, music to visual arts in a unique and authentic manner." - Budapest Design Week

"Trafó House of Contemporary Art This funky venue for experimental art of all kinds—theater, visual art, dance, performance, music, even circus arts—began as a transformer station, then later sat empty for 40 years until a group of artists began squatting there in the early 1990s. The city of Budapest bought and officially renovated the spaces, opening Trafó in 1998. The wildly varied program has been going strong ever since with event spaces, an exhibition room, and even a basement club for discourse and literary nights. Expect cutting-edge performances and an intellectual, offbeat crowd."
