Budapest of the 1980s. The story unfolds in one of the dancehalls which at the time were the site of the newly discovered and famed Hungarian rural folklore. In spite of the contemporary historically-coloured memories, Béla Pintér’s play doesn’t cherish a nostalgic look back but speaks about the way in which "our secrets” were accepted in the political reality of the present moment. Perhaps somewhat innocent or even naïve, this performance reaches for deeper levels, pointing out mercilessly to the deep wounds in Hungarian society, disclosing the villains and punks capable of surviving within any political system and speaking about the lies that have been swept under the carpet for decades.
