A write-up of a 2017 event called “Parasztok Atmoszférában” (In the Peasants' Atmosphere) performed during the 2017 OFF-Biennále in Budapest. This was an international contemporary arts festival and an independent civil initiative functioning as a network of cooperation between artists, creative groups, curators, galleries and art collectors. This is an interview with the creator of the “In the Peasants’ Atmosphere” project which explored ideas of authenticity and Hungarian peasant music culture [as practiced today in Budapest by 2nd generation urban dance house musicians] from a critical contemporary point of view. “I think the work of these performers that strive for authenticity is extremely important, they are like mediums channeling a social class that has all but disappeared ...” Participants of the event were: Bertók Márton (synthesizer), Éri Katalin (double bass, hit cello), Maruzsenszki Andor (violin), Keresztesi Botond (stage design), Kiss- Balbinat Ádám (violin, voice), Neményi Lilla (voice), Porteleki Áron (viola, electric guitar, percussion), Szurcsik Erika (voice), Kele Ildikó (costume), Trapp Dominika (concept, director).
