The Four-square Round Forest is a classic tale of 20th century Hungarian literature. Generations have grown up reading or listening to it; it's humorous idioms have become part of our everyday speech. The most beautiful tale of friendship, interdependence and acceptance guides us to a place where the most different personalities find each other, and their difference becomes their source of joy and solidarity. Mikkamakka, Vacskamati, Louis Monster, Bruckner Szigfrid, Aromo, Seraphin Horse, Great Zoard and Dömdödöm come on the scene to invite us into the theatre of love where - what a wonder! - differences disappear even between child and adult because the common desire of all of us is ti be accepted as we are. The well-known composer and singer of Kaláka band, Balázs Radványi's beautiful songs transform the performance into a happy event of young and old, family, class.
