The Light of Christmas

Director: Rumi László
Premier: 2024-11-12 (5 months ago)

We celebrate the birth of light, meaning the coming into the world of Jesus, during the winter solstice. This ritual is as old as time; in the olden days of our grandparents, people went from house to house with the Nativity Play: beautifully painted little churches were carried in arms, verses were recited, and songs praising love and peace were sung.

The birth of Jesus is a celebration of the solstice. In the folk rituals related to solstice, one can discover in the play of the Shepherds shamanic figures of the Sun cult from "pagan" times. In our interpretation, the characters of the play, mostly comedic, advance on the hierarchical scale, becoming CREATIVE characters who tell the story. Each participant will change their everyday clothes for festive costumes: a white shirt, an elegant jacket, a hat. Thus, the Sons of the Shepherds continue to go door to door to narrate the birth of Jesus with their puppets and music, restoring the tradition to its well-deserved place.

The festive show "The Light of Christmas" is about the importance of belonging and respect for our traditions, suitable for the whole family, and invites in the heart of the community.
