The creators of the dance production, The Legend of the Sun have, brought a completely original, never seen before world of scene and sound into the repertoire of domestic and foreign dance theatres.
The choreographer, Gábor Mihályi has mixed the most dynamic, most sweeping motives of Hungarian folk-music and put them on stage with the collaboration of the Hungarian State Folk Dancers (today called as the House of Traditions). For his work he received the “Creator of the Year” award from the Hungarian Dance Artists Association in 2000. The composer of the production, who has travelled widely as a soloist of Riverdance, Nikola Parov, has created a new musical world nourished by East-European folk-music traditions, in which the sounds of saxophone, drums, brasses and violin harmonize perfectly. This folk- and world-music style composition is a medley of dynamics, tradition and mystery.
The Legend of the Sun is a fresh, creative dance theatre performance with a 21st century spirit that visualizes - with the special instruments of the arts - the cult of the Sun, its role in our lives, the course of its celestial path, and the connection between this path and the turning points in human life.
