The show is thus a completely unique experience for audiences of pop culture, theatre and opera alike.
The central theme of the show is the issue of artificial intelligence, which is increasingly affecting our society. Although this technology is becoming more and more dominant in our lives with each passing day, until now it has not really been represented in the art of stage dance. The production uses grandiose visual elements (a pool filled with over 2,500 litres of water, a flaming floor, and a 40 square metre trampoline mat) to show how we humans are using AI to manipulate our habitat and the environment we have created throughout history, and what the future may hold for us in light of this. The dance performance also explores themes such as man-made environmental damage (such as water scarcity and forest fires) and global social problems of our history and present (e.g. the Holocaust, racism and hunger).
In keeping with its bold concept of a progressive, unique folk dance style, URBAN VERBUNK also breaks new ground in terms of its musical foundations: The best-known works of classical music’s greatest composers are performed in unique arrangements with symphonic orchestral accompaniment and crossover sound, along with hits from the world’s best pop artists.
URBAN VERBUNK’s artistic director is Gyula Harangozó- and Junior Prima Prize-winning dance artist and choreographer Moussa Ahmed, who has represented Hungarian culture at such venues and events as New York’s Lincoln Center, the Rio Olympics, and the 70th birthday celebration of King Charles III.

Rhapsody as a genre is characterized by caprice and the passionate undulation of emotion, thoughts, and the freedom of expression. Hungarian Rhapsody incorporates all of the peculiarities of thegenre, relying on tradition, and drawing inspiration from it, to create a special and unique dance rhapsody. The colorful diversity of the Hungarian peasant traditions appear in dynamically alternating images – the acrobatics of the male dances, the poetry of the female dances, and the virtuosity of the couples’ dances. The most beautiful melodies of folk culture surface at times as dance accompaniments, or as whimsical solos, and at other times as tempestuous orchestral play.
Kizökkent az idő…, ahogy Shakespeare-nél szokott. De, míg Hamlet azzal a bizonyossággal lép a színpadra, hogy általa még helyretolható – Lear az első pillanatban elveszti a csatát. Nem fokozatosan fog széthullani; az egykori nagy király és magabiztos férfi egyetlen pillanat alatt semmisül meg, amikor imádott felesége sírba száll. Darabbéli útja innen csak tántorgás a végső nyughely felé. Hangulat ingadozásai, átkai, dührohamai, de még kétségbeesett kapaszkodási kísérlete is lányaiba – mind a pótolhatatlan űrrel magyarázhatók. Képtelen tovább a kormányzásra; így válik a birodalom felosztása kényszerűvé. Nincs előre eltervezettség és racionális döntés, csak kapkodó improvizálás.
