Fall struck Budapest abruptly last week, bringing gray skies and drizzle-filled days that always remind me of living in Dublin. All of a sudden, we have kicked on our radiators and stopped frequenting our favorite garden bars. Now, we head to the indoor, smoky joints for some cold-weather socialization.
One pleasant thing to come of the seasonal shift is that it brought the fall festival. My best girlfriend here, Zsofi, works for Budapest's Festival Center, so she keeps me in the know about large cultural events. Or better yet, she lets me know about the underground performances like this one I've posted a video on, called Zebra Crossings.
As part of the Fall Festival, multiple acting troupes went to different crosswalks (which they call Zebra Crossings, given their black and white stripes) and performed a different skit each time the light turned red. They were all up and down one of the city's most lovely avenues, called Andrassy, and performed to unsuspecting audiences of drivers and pedestrians. Thanks to an awesome wedding gift (go Beahm team!) I can now capture moments like this on our new video camera. Enjoy some of the skits!
