János Térey’s drama The Nibelung Housing Park is a true portrayal of our times: a catastrophe play, a comprehensive and multilayered work that, by reviving the Wagnerian tradition, uses the framework of myth to speak about the present—today’s Hungary. The world symbolized by a housing park is in trouble. The society, made up of the heirs of two capitalist families, lawyers, models, police officers, firefighters, and radio hosts, teeters on the brink of collapse.
