Overview: 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.
Overview: The film is a stage play hybrid showcasing dark and absurd sketches based on contemporary Hungarian news of the 2000's with campy, senseless musical interludes in-between. Highly experimental in nature that - like Marmite - will split its' crowd into ones that'll love it and others that'll loathe it. There's no middle grounds here. The topics included are: The Hungarian Olympians' doping scandal, political terrorism, the national elections... and more.
