The surreal world which generally characterises their performances is constructed from a combination of reality and dream, of authentic and kitsch, and from sundry elements of Hungarian culture. Thanks to their successes, the company is nowadays reckoned as one of the most significant and most inventive creative workshops.
Ignácz Baráznay, apivotal figure of ourstory, is an invented character. Generally referred to as ”Lion of Sukoró” by the Hungarians, he is an adored martyr of Hungarian Independence War, the national freedom fight staged against the Habsburg rule in 1848—1849.
Thirty-three years after Baráznay's unclear death, his daughter Amalia — during a peculiar transcendent journey in which anything can happen —finds herself back in 1848 only to be employed by the then alreadyworking Austrian Imperial Television.
Little by little, it becomes revealed to her that her father was nothing of the well-deserved national hero or the one she imagined him to be.
In Hungarian with English surtitles."
