Hungarian State Folk Ensemble: Urban Wanderers – Dance concert

“Urban Wanderers” is a folk dance show that offers a theatrical experience in which the harmony of music, dance and visual elements invites the audience on an immersive and unique journey between past and present.

The performance takes place in a symbolic space that changes constantly with the music. The audience can feel itself in a big city in Hungary, in a country restaurant, in a Transylvanian village, at a Balkan dance festival or even in an American jazz club.
At the heart of the show is Ferenc Radics and his band, who play their instruments with incredible virtuosity and are able to interpret the long tradition of urban gypsy music, here at the beginning of the 21st century.

In addition to music, dance also plays an important role in the show, with a colourful cavalcade of dance scenes that show the interweaving of tradition and innovation. The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble’s dancers add to the excitement of the rich musical tableau with traditional and modern dance elements and varied and diverse choreography. By interweaving the vibrant rhythms of Hungarian folk dance with the explosive energy of gypsy music, the production is a kind of cultural wandering between the urban bustle and traditional rural life.
