"Where Hollywood Film Technology Meets Contemporary Stage Art"
Attila Konnyu’s creations dissolve the boundaries between cinema and stage.
High-definition projections, forged with Hollywood’s own technologies, flow into live dance, contemporary music, and visual art - transforming the theatre into a living canvas.
Each performance unfolds as a multi-sensory journey: painting becomes motion, film becomes dream, theatre becomes immersion.
Konnyu’s vision has already captivated thousands through his co-creative work on the Hungarian State Opera’s acclaimed Carmina Burana, performed more than seventy times. His new productions now extend this language into uncharted territory.
Presented in pre-premiere form, these works invite audiences to glimpse the future of performance - a space where humanity, technology, and transcendence meet in luminous harmony.
We are seeking visionary partners to join us in bringing these productions to international stages and audiences.
