freewill>>>>

The first “celebrity couple” of the Reform Era, Sándor Petőfi and Júlia Szendrey, are the focus of the freewill>>>> concert theater, one of the most outsanding works of the Petőfi bicentennial. The show tells a story about their quirky habits, the heightened emitonal world of their two years of together, and the importance of their opinion-forming role. The story moves freely in space and time in a special and unique concert-style adaption, which is incomparable in Hungary.
