Draw your swords! Valiant Hungarians battling their Turkish and German foes, courage and duels, heroic raids and burning love. All of these are to be found in István Fekete's adventure novel The Testament of the Koppányi Aga: set during the Turkish occupation, it is a defining reading and cinematic experience for many of us Hungarians. All of this is, however, serves only as a starting point for the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble's dance drama intended especially for young people in which history and the reality of the modern era meet in a theatre-within-a-theatre production, and where the characters alternate between adventuring in the distant past and the world of today.
