Legend has it that Szársomlyó hill near Villány was ploughed by the devil himself.
What for?
The devil was craving for Harka, the daughter of an old witch from a nearby village of Nagyharsány, but he could get her only on the condition of ploughing the rocky hillside before dawn. He almost managed to, but the witch devised another trick to save her daughter from being taken by the devil.
Our outdoor play evokes the legends of the "Devil's Cauldron" by means of stilts, giant puppets and invigorating music.
Duration of the performance is approx. 25-30 minutes. It is recommended for outdoor events.

Our giant puppets are 3-3.5 m high each, and each of them are moved by 1 person.
Every puppet depicts national puppet heroes well-known in Europe, namely:
László the Valiant, Pulcinella, Punch and Judy, Kasperle, Kasparek, Karagöz, Guignol.
The march and dance of huge, characteristic figures can be an exciting extravaganza of any outdoor event from late spring to early autumn.
