More about Dezső Fitos Ensemble – János Arany: Mercy

Dani Pörge, Tera Sinkó, Eszti Dalos, Ferkó Tuba, Rebi néni and Ágnes asszony are on the same path to sin, marching towards death. Driven by lust, they make a pact with the devil and fare with agony. Guilt corrodes the soul, devours the body, and corrupts the mind. No sinner can escape the pain of punishment. Their deceitful, guilty world is doomed to destruction, and death awaits them. Dezső Fitos Ensemble’s dance play without spoken words on the ballads of János Arany.

They celebrate the end of each cycle with a ball and invite local musicians from the given region to each occasion. Talented folk singers will introduce you to the melodies of each area. And the best-known dance bands will keep the dance music going until dawn, providing an opportunity for fun and entertainment.

They welcome beginners and newcomers to their beginner dance classes! In the beginners’ group, you can acquire the basic dance skills you need to have fun in the dance halls.
