More than a hundred performances are on this year's programme, which will start with Csaba Horváth's play Passion, an examination of the effect of the Ten Commandments on contemporary society - the festival organisers have taken into account that 2008 is the Year of the Bible when creating the programme.

 
Also on the programme is a performance by the ethnic Hungarian theatre troupe of Berehove, Ukraine, of Imre Madách's The Tragedy of Man, directed by Attila Vidnyánszky.
 
Theatre-goers will have the opportunity to create their own artworks form organic materials such as grass and wood with the assistance of Bálint Szombathy during the festival.
 
In addition to theatre performances, the festival will feature concerts, art exhibitions and events for children.
 
Most events will take place at the village's former rocket base, though some will also be held at the castle ruins.
