Tibor Kocsák, Szilárd Somogyi, and Tibor Miklós: *Abigél*—a musical based on the novel by Magda Szabó

Magda Szabó described her young heroine this way: “In 1943, Gina says goodbye to her home and those she loves because her father sends her to the notorious Árkod Institute. The harsh world and its unusually cruel rules drive the young high school student to rebellion. But she learns something that convinces her to stay; she willingly accepts her captivity… How does this young teenage girl find her way in a world fraught with adult secrets? Can she believe in the naive student legends that the girls’ imaginations weave around the statue in the garden, shaped like a girl holding a jug? Perhaps she, too, should write a letter to Abigél, who always helps those in trouble…” The musical, interwoven with beautiful melodies, provides answers to every question.
