Szombathely is a Beautiful small town in Hungary from which Virag - the father of Leopold Bloom, the hero of James Joyce’s Ulysses, came from. Every year the town hosts a Bloomsday festival and in 2025 the Mayor of Szombathely invited Csilla and Alistair to join them in celebrating Bloomsday. Csilla’s 2007 ‘Bloom Mystery’ documentary was screened at the festival and was nominated for Best Joycean short and screened at Belvedere House at this year’s Dublin Bloomsday Film Festival.

LUCIA DANCES

Based on the life story of James Joyce’s daughter Lucia, Light Theatre Company is developing this ambitious Immersive Dance Drama.

An Immersive Dance Theatre Project

Enemy Alien Project

By Csilla Toldy with colour illustrations by Agnes Tamcsu

Published by Light Theatre Company as a resource for Holocaust Education with funding form the Heritage Lotteries Council and Private Donations

Based on the true story of Walter Sekules, Csilla Toldy tells the inspiring story of how a ten-year-old boy and his Austrian family survived the Holocaust and came to Northern Ireland in 1947 where they set up a knitwear business in Kilkeel, Co. Down, employing up to 300 local women (many of them single parents) . 

Copies of the book have been donated to local libraries and schools in NI and England.
