Így szerettek ők, the romantic literature books written by Krisztián Nyári, are among the most successful publications of recent years, as shown not only by their critical acclaim but by the unwaning interest and adoration of readers. Each of the two volumes draws attention to lesser-known details of the famous romantic histories of 40 Hungarian writers and artists. With the help of original documents - letters, journal entries, photographs - and the books which elucidate the emotions and events, these evocative etudes bring the characters closer to the reader.

In the spirit of romanticism, this semi-staged production presents the unique stories of significant Hungarian authors and their special relationships through the intepretation of outstanding performers and with texts set to live musical accompaniment and projections. Hosted by the author himself, Krisztián Nyáry, this musical-literary journey through time will reveal to audiences the private lives of authors like Mihály Babits, Lőrinc Szabó, Endre Ady, Jenő Heltai, Attila József and Sándor Weöres. The literary verses, personal documents, and stories brought to life by the popular music of Kaláka, guide us into a secret world of emotions.

A production of Szabad Tér Theatre.
