The Sun Legend is fresh, creative, a thoroughly 21st-century dance theatre performance, which uses the special means of this art form to represent the cult of the Sun, its role in our life, the connection between its course across the firmament and the path and turning points of a human life. The choreographer Gábor Mihályi has amalgamated the most dynamic and sweeping motifs of Hungarian and Central East European folk dance in a performance by the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble. In acknowledgement of his achievement, he was awarded the prize “Creator of the Year” in 2000 by the Association of Hungarian Dance Artists. The composer for the production is Nikola Parov, who has travelled the world as a soloist for Riverdance. He worked from East European folk music traditions to create a new, original musical world, in which the saxophone, drums, brass instruments and the violin fuse in perfect harmony. This piece, created in the style of folk and world music, is an enchanting combination of dynamism, tradition and the mystical.
