To My Friend
a theatrical concert inspired by the correspondence between János Arany and Sándor Petőfi
National premiere

György Ferenczi and the 1-ső Pesti Rackák, the Tükrös Zenekar and two talented final-year acting students, Vilmos Krasznai and Ágoston Liber, will reanimate perhaps the two most important years of the two young poets' lives through the piercing humour of their letters.

It will be as if they were sitting down and conversing with us. Petőfi and Arany - fire and water. But as the old saying goes; opposites attract. György Ferenczi has composed music to the verses the poets wrote for each other, while the Petőfi poems that later turned into folk songs will be performed to music from the Tükrös Zenekar. The performance, based on a concept from Endre Liber, is brought to the stage by the choreographer and director Dusan Hégli and the actress and dramaturg Éva Enyedi.
