The performance will be accompanied by several new Caramel songs from Lélekdonor no. The main roles are played by Tamás Palcsó, Imre Lutter and Nika Mónika Veres.
Caramel collaborates with Imre Lutter on the songs, the story is written by the director, Tamás Olt, and his co-author, R. Szabolcs Váradi. Among the actors will be Andrea Szulák, Péter Trokán and Gábor Bakos-Kiss, two acting students from Kaposvár, Bence Balaskó and Klára Németh, will also participate in the production.
The costumes were designed by Juli Horányi, the sets were made by Judit Wilhelm. In addition to the virtual set consisting of LED walls and animations, the visual was created by Fejes Kitty. The dialogues are interwoven with Sándor Petőfi’s love poems.
Rehearsals for the musical are already underway.
