Project

Theatrical play called “Taxanomy of life” is a musical play. It attempts to present today’s modern electronic music, traditional gipsy music and folk music in one play (Hungarian, Greek and Western Balkans music together) allowing virtuosic performance in frame of a story with philosophic content and with the help of modern techniques for the audience to follow easily and in an entertaining way.

The story accompanies the life of a man, based on gipsy and folk music, starting from friendship of childhood, in which a gipsy boy and non-gipsy boy make friendship for life. His life is emotionally bipolar as unclouded happiness of childhood and youth are against uncertainty and gloomy old age, making the spectator think whether we live well with the time allowed for us and whether we have enough strength and will to deal with also common problems of mankind and to help others in any form.
