A father and son set out to collect a debt. They wander the streets of Terézváros from Jókai Square to Nyugati Railway Station, but find only fragments of the past: objects from a lost exhibition from the change of regime, a homeless man from a better time, moments from the ever-changing, much-seen Nyugati Square. The surreal walk, full of surprises, ends with the evocative opening of the shopping mall next to the station. “We got home. We are at home now.”

Urban Legends was premiered on May 4, 2024 within the framework of the Budapest Spring Festival, as part of the Budapest Grand Novel event series. Supported by the ’Play On! – New Storytelling with Immersive Technologies’ international project co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union, the performance is a coproduction of Kolibri Theatre and the Akademie für Theater und Digitalität Dortmund.

Duration of the ‘theatre audio walk’: ca. 85 min.
