Uj Zrinyiász

At the heart of this audacious work lies a daring experiment: the legendary Hungarian captain Zrinyi Miklós is pulled from the seventeenth‑century battlefield and dropped into a modern, almost absurdist tableau. The author frames the project as a sketch that deliberately stays half‑finished, inviting listeners to watch familiar characters clash with today’s political language. By juxtaposing medieval customs with contemporary discourse, the narrative highlights how human ambitions and rivalries echo across the centuries.

The story bursts into motion when the archangel Gábor, trumpet in hand, sounds three calls that resurrect Zrinyi and his comrades on a moonlit plain. Disoriented but eager, the revived warriors march toward Budapest, only to discover a strange, empty landscape where the Ottoman threat has vanished. A small, determined band of soldiers begins to search for the king’s flag, their bewildered exchanges setting a tone that is both humorous and poignant. This blend of historical reverence, speculative fantasy, and sharp social commentary creates a vivid listening experience that feels both familiar and freshly provocative.
