"What can happen between a man and a woman? Everything. Anything. Anything from passion to indifference. Can you sum it all up in one concert? Yes. At least, that's what four excellent actors (two women and two men) and an excellent score are trying to do. The lyrics are not the least of it." Passing through, Listen a little! Two albums from the 80s, both legends since then. Dorottya Udvaros sings about Hóesés, The Vainly Beautiful Girl, Stripping, passionate duets by Juli Básti and György Cserhalmi, like Játszótársak or Ten Little Scapegoats. These songs have rarely or never been performed in concert. János Kulka has also sung Dés songs on record. After more than twenty years, the Big Team is finally getting together and will present this special performance on a national concert tour, with musical direction by László Dés and direction by Géza Bereményi. The composer duo Dés-Bereményi have also written new songs for the four actors for the occasion.

Set in a large apartment in Hungary during the death throes of communism, obedient Andor lives with his eccentric mother, Rebeka, a once-celebrated stage actress-turned-recluse. After years of coexisting in a love-hate relationship marked by routine and possible incest, Andor brings home Eszter, a beautiful girl his own age. Her advances awaken Andor's repressed desires, the depths of which prove shocking. Opera director Robert Alfoldi renders this bizarre story in a melodramatic style, and veteran Hungarian stage star Dorottya Udvaros rises to the occasion. If you can imagine the intersecting area on a Venn diagram that includes Taxidermia and Sunset Blvd., that's where Where Were You, My Son? was born. The original title, Nyugalom, which translates to Tranquility, is ironic to say the least. ...over the-top...memorable...thunderous...sex and violins (Variety).
