From November on Anna Pásztor, the multiple Fonogram Award-winning singer, actress,
and songwriter will appear at METTRIN ARTS CENTER in a completely new role.
START LIVING!
Stage talk show with Anna Pásztor.
A musical immersion at PRESENT.
Anna Pásztor, the popular founder and frontwoman of the band Anna and the Barbies will host monthly a music talk show with a direct tone. An outspoken host, she will reinterpret the nature of the world with her guests invited from various fields of arts, sciences, and our life. She works with her brother, Sámuel Pásztor, who is not only her creative musical partner, but also her spiritual support. They chose for the above title of the talk show produced by METTRIN an emblematic line from one of their most popular compositions: Márti’s song.
START LIVING! is neither a theatrical performance, a concert, nor a therapy— but it is a little bit of all of these. It is an inspiring forum where the soul can breathe, the spirit can roam freely, and we can be ourselves for a little period of time.
Each of these multidisciplinary events will open with a brand new song inspired by the theme and messages of the previous show as well as the comments and thoughts sent by the guests and the audience. The musical preamble based on the new composition is followed by a presentation of interesting facts about the topic of the day, and after it the eagerly awaited discussion begins.
In the first half of the talk show Anna interviews first an expert on the given topic, and after someone directly involved in the issue, and finally an artist who brings a fresh perspective to the conversation, mostly from the world of music. The 90-minute long program, accompanied by musical interludes, is complemented by games related to the content, thus evoking further associations in the audience.
*The Talk Show is available only in Hungarian.
