Director: Sándor Zsótér
The piece is a historical revue in two parts, and we can follow the history of the Esterházy family from the 17th century to the 20th century. Summoning the framework of the tragedy of man, the Lord makes a bet with Lucifer, and the stake of the bet is whether one of the legendary, centuries-old families of Hungarian history, the Esterházys, will fail?
Mercedes Benz is Péter Esterházy's last drama, which he wrote at the request of the Slovak National Theater and was premiered in Bratislava in January 2017. For the first time in Budapest, the audience will be able to see this family story full of intellectual and linguistic feats.
