The celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel included events in several cities across Hungary.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Embassy of Israel in Hungary organized two receptions in Budapest and Miskolc. In addition, initiatives ranging from street festivals to concerts were held in Debrecen, Skasper Var, Vesperm, Zalgarsag, Kaczkamt and Nyor.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The two receptions included a performance by\u00a0Vertigo<\/strong>, a contemporary dance company, that describes its style as \u201coffering a physical meeting place for artists and audience\u201d and taking \u201cthe viewer to a new or an unexpected, exciting and challenging journey into unfamiliar Territories.\u201d \u201cWe see Vertigo as a messenger of Israeli Art at its best, at home and abroad, that comes to bring people closer together and touch them through the language of the body,\u201d the website reads.<\/p>\n
