Synopsis

Dance performances of the legendary compositions of Béla Bartók's A CSODÁLATOS MANDARIN and Maurice Ravel's BOLERO were created in a unique national co-production of the Petőfi Színház and the Forrás Színház in Sopron, performed by the InterEUropa Ballet with foreign star dancers, as a special experience, In an unprecedented formation, the world-famous Kossuth Prize-winning pianist Gergely Bogányi, winner of the Virtuosos, the prince of the piano Misi Boros,  Károly Binder, Erkel Ferenc Prize-winning, internationally renowned jazz pianist and composer, and Gábor Varga, the outstanding pianist of Hungarian jazz, will perform the pieces in concert on the Hungarian-developed Bogányi pianos. 

The events will be followed by a special Midsummer Night's Eve celebration under the trees of Margaret Island, around the open-air stage. Audiences will be immersed in the magical world of Midsummer Night to discover the mystery of the forest. The rays of light reveal the beauty of nature and the trees, enveloping their bodies in the mist that envelops them. Figures of different arts populate the magical night. Teatro Potlach's performance is the closing ceremony of the Theatre Olympics and is a collaboration between Aesop Studio and Quiet Ensemble (Italy), The Capital Circus of Budapest, the Hungarian Dance University, the Budapest Puppet Theatre and the Liszt Academy of Music.
