Recirquel will return again this winter season with a new production evoking the atmosphere of the end-of-year holidays. Awaiting adults and children alike in the enormous, snow-covered circus tent set up in front of the Müpa Budapest building is the magical world of Kristály, where amazing fairy-tale images frozen in glistening ice come to life before the eyes of the audience, and with their involvement.

This contemporary circus production conceived by artistic director Bence Vági recalls classic fairy tales with a story of how the mistress of the Kristály World loses her faith in human emotions and decides to freeze everything and seclude herself behind glittering walls of ice. Together, the audience and the artists in the performance will seek hope in the warmth of love and light through a world of amazing illusions and tricks.

In this performance conjuring up a holiday atmosphere by the internationally renowned Hungarian contemporary circus troupe, visitors will get to admire the feats of artists already well-known among the local audience from other Recirquel productions, as they once again take the icy stage alongside Hungarian guest artists, including the country's most spectacular hip-hop dancers.
