It premiered at the International Theatre Institute?s 2010 Theater of the World festival in Germany?s Ruhr region. Muck received three prizes at the Pécs National Theatre Convention in 2011, for best script, best leading actress and best supporting actress.

The company calls Muck ?a political music drama about modern-day Hungary? on its homepage.

 

?The narration begins in a children's home where, instead of two sweet babies, a couple of adolescent girls get the chance to leave. The couple who become their parents are sincerely well-meaning and the arrival of the girls breathes fresh air into the community. The fight for a place in the sun is tough, however.?

 

The troupe can be seen next in Hungary at the Vidor Festival in Nyiregyháza on August 27. They will perform Kaisers TV there.
