Pilinszky János kortárs, szakrális értelmezése – Esszé a QJÚB A kocka kibontása című lemezéről

Abstract

Owing to its sacred charachter and linguistic importance, the poetry of János Pilinszky has become a point of reference and a spiritual cornerstone for numerous creators and audiences within contemporary hungarian culture. The expressions he used and the metapshysical spaces he brought into being remain discernible both on the level of intertextuality and in the artistic essence of contemporary works. One such example is QJÚB’s 2023 album A kocka kibontása, a theatrical concert project employing a progressive musical form to reinterpret texts by János Pilinszky and Sándor Csoóri. This study adopts to a twofold approach to the concept album: it examines the album – and, through it, the contunuing legacy of Pilinszky – within broader theoretical context of metadorernism and metaphysics; the essay is followed by an interview with Miklós H. Vecsei, a member of QJÚB, focusing on sacred art, the relevance of Pilinszky’s texts and the artistic vision of the QJÚB-project.
