Tata’s lakeside gem, Malom és Kacsa, rolls into 2026 with a heady mix of theater, live music, exhibitions, workshops, culinary adventures, and long, lazy evenings that smell like candle wax and fresh herbs. The setting at 2890 Tata, Tópart St. 19 stays as cinematic as ever: historic mills on the edge of Old Lake (Öreg-tó), a terrace soaking up sunsets, and that unmistakable hush before applause. Expect intimate shows, hands-on learning, and flavors that linger. Organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs, so check links and contacts before you go.
May 1: “One Night in Paris” with Zsófi Korponay (Korponay Zsófi)
Close your eyes and you’re strolling along the Seine. On May 1, Zsófi Korponay brings a chanson evening that dips into the heart of Paris, with candlelight and the timeless spell of melodies that once owned the airwaves. Édith Piaf’s most beloved songs take the room by the hand and lead it through love, longing, and the fight to keep the flame lit. Every note carries a story—about passion, about choosing life, and about how the softest whisper can still fill a room. If you live for intimate, mood-drenched listening sessions where the voice does the heavy lifting, this one’s all yours.
May 10: NAMASTE-Kacsaste – Tuning In Together
A rare Sunday morning when you don’t rush—this is a workshop for two, and it’s not only for couples. Come with your partner, husband, sister, best friend, or child, and take a shared breath. The promise: a stopover from the weekday blur where connection speaks the language of presence, touch, and undivided attention. What to expect:
– Paired yoga practice, relaxation, meditation, and pranayama
– Clear guidance on tuning in to each other and continuing a shared practice at home
– A fresh, vitamin-packed smoothie to reset your system (think 11.2 oz of good choices)
– Professional notes with detailed descriptions of foundational partner poses
It’s an easy invitation to move gently side by side, to listen with your whole body, and to leave with tools you’ll use long after you step out into the light by the lake.
May 13: “Sugar Baby” (Cukorbaba) – A Theater Unveiling
Sugar Baby draws on the life of Lujza Blaha (Blaha Lujza) and smashes through borders between theater, music, literature, and puppetry, staging an all-arts confession that feels both intimate and confrontational. It aims sharp questions at the stage and everything circling it: the demands of an actress’s calling, possession of the female body, where performance ends and private life begins, and the price tag hidden behind the phrase “the cost of love.” Alongside reflections from grand dames of the stage, you’ll hear the raw, real voices of today’s YouTubers and celebrity girls. What is stardom now? What’s an affectation, and what’s armor? How do values shift as the spotlight moves? What does it mean to stand before an audience—an actress, a woman, a person—and claim yourself without flinching?
