A sample of cyanotype prints from the exhibition 4. Work in progress test screening with cine-concert The evening of August 3, 2024 will be unforgettable for everyone who came to the Narancsliget in Nagyharsány, where the work in progress version of the film The Death of Dracula was screened, while the Hungarian-Romanian-French Film Orchestra, led by Miquéu Montanaro, played music. At dusk, around 9pm, not a pin could be dropped in this temporary open-air cinema- concert hall, which meant that at least five hundred people watched in anticipation as the Film Orchestra tuned up under the stretched film screen. This was happening at a multi-site all-arts festival, while a number of theatre performances and concerts were taking place. But those who entered the Narancsliget (Nagyharsány, Kossuth utca 30.) knew that they were witnessing and participating in an exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime event. The overture was played, the projection began and while we were able to jump back in time a hundred years, we were also able to experience being present at the miracle of birth. Euphoric, but without exaggeration: Montanaro's beautiful music was at once in tune with the moments on the screen, while feeding on a thousand roots merging together, it resounded as a significant work of art in its own right. The standing ovation that followed the screening and concert made the evening a joyous celebration. 178
