János Térey’s drama The Nibelung Housing Park is a true portrayal of our times: a catastrophe play, a comprehensive and multilayered work that, by reviving the Wagnerian tradition, uses the framework of myth to speak about the present—today’s Hungary. The world symbolized by a housing park is in trouble. The society, made up of the heirs of two capitalist families, lawyers, models, police officers, firefighters, and radio hosts, teeters on the brink of collapse.
Directed by Kornél Mundruczó
