Premiers - 2024/2025

A first premiere! Proud Rom Loiko Zobar falls for beautiful Roma Radda, only to find that overwhelming love shackles their independence and stands in the way of their freedom. The music and lyrics of this moving Gypsy ballad were written by Tamás Szarka, based on Maxim Gorky's story Makar Chudra. The show is a Hungarian National Dance Company and Karavan Theatre co-production.

The inner world of Miklós Radnóti and Fanni Gyarmati comes to life in the concert theater performance of Miklós H. Vecsei and the group Q JÚB, made up of musicians and visual artists. Born in the shadow of the world wars, it is the story of a young Hungarian artist consciously and subconsciously searching for the freedom and burden of the cross of Christ. With the production, we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the death of Miklós Radnóti.

The tragedy of the English author, famous for his irony and comedies, presented in 1893 – originally in French – takes the viewer to New Testament times, as it is known: the title character demanded the head of János Keresztelő in exchange for his overheated dance as the stepdaughter of Herodes Antipas. The biblical story is staged at the Nemzeti by a contemporary Bulgarian director of the poetic theater.
