A new theater play including my music written for mixed choir will have its first presentation before its premier at the end of the season. Piece will be played from october at the National Theater of Szeged. Piece is very roughly based on the ancient greek drama The Suppliants by Aeschylus, where most of the scenes were written by the director Peter Fabian, based on interviews about the so called “refugee-crisis” in Hungary 2015.
Towards Completeness (1945) is a short poetical prose by Sándor Weöres. My father, Daniel Gryllus wrote music of some of its sentences. He recorded all of the parts himself in the 1980´s. It was published for the 60th birthday of the poet. In 2010, when my father turned to 60 I re-arranged his work for his friends and colleagues, all of them are for me iconic figures of the contemporary Hungarian world-music-scene (whatever this category means:)

Waldsee is a fictive vilage, never existed, only as location of registration, and mentioned as a safe and pieceful place on those postcards. These postcards were in real life sent out from Auswitz-Birkenau by the prisoners on command. 80 years later gallery 2B in Budapest asked artists, writers and composers, to create reflective works to the original exhibited postcards. They recorded Lapok, among others pieces, and it can be listened through a headphone as part of the exhibition.
