Dawnstruck, Necrology, a short story, a little play with words, a puppet, and contemporary music. This evening, assembled from the familiar and lesser-known works of Dezső Kosztolányi, guides the audience through life and death, generations, parent–child relationships, war and longed-for peace – the fundamental questions of existence. The texts come to life with the help of new compositions written specially for this occasion by two contemporary Hungarian composers (Ilona Dobszay-Meskó and Balázs Winkler).
