Ervin Lázár: ARNICA, THE DUCK PRINCESS
by Péter Závada and Edina Mókus Szirtes
Operett Theater Budapest
Our performance "Poor Joni and Arnika" is based on the story of Ervin Lázár, which tells the story of a pair of lovers on a journey. From the story we can learn where the good Seven-Headed Fairy lives, whether it is worth being good and whether those cursed by the Hundred-Faced Witch herself can find each other, and the instructive story of the Duck King and the Duck Queen also reveals that selfless love can work wonders. Debuted as a former exam performance by Zita Szenteczki, a former puppetry student at the University of Theatre and Film Arts, the play uses a variety of techniques, from the classic glove puppet to the giant mask.
