From Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály through György Martin and Sándor Tímár to Ferenc Novák, the diverse folk art of the Mezőség region has attracted the interest of many collectors. Therefore, Zsolt Juhász, the bandleader and director, must have had plenty of resources to work with when he thought about the show:

“We want to show our feelings, our love for the region and its beauty. A multicultural region with Hungarians, Romanians and Gypsies—that is the coexistence we are trying to showcase.”

The Beautiful Transylvanian Plain, Mezőség guides the audience through 300 settlements and the diverse world created by the interweaving of Hungarian, Romanian, Gypsy, and Saxon cultures. This multiculturalism is also at the thematic centre of the programme, which will be enriched with singing, prose by Albert Wass, accordion, and the Göncöl Orchestra.

The scenery depicts the rolling Mezőség hills, with abstract sets and monumental, rolling podiums.

In preparation for the premiere, several excellent dance professionals assisted the ensemble: the piece is based on choreography by Enikő Kocsis, Dezső Fitos, Tamás Farkas, and Zsolt Juhász.
