Spectacular, large scale street
productions with giant puppets,
stilt walkers, dancers, and musicians
"Pagans
or Christians" - the first in its
kind large scale ’walking’ street theatre performance
being produced for the occasion of the millennium in year
2000 with the aim to give the Budapest Spring Festival
a very special start. The performance was in reality a
very special and unique one, with its more than 300 actors,
musicians, stilt walkers and dancers who performed the
production all along Andrassy út in Budapest. Speciality
of the performance, besides having an enormous number
of participants, was that it also had a very strong spiritual
background by having a 40 member Christian choir on the
’Christian side’ and 12 real shamans on the ’pagan side’.
Creators of the performance were: Director: István Somogyi,
with the help of János Pályi in terms of giant puppets
