Even those who are pure of heart
and pray at night
can become wolves when the wolf flowers bloom
and the autumn moon shines brightly.
(Wolfman, 1941)
Two years ago, a former werewolf candidate visited Budapest for two days.
Last month, he returned, left his candidacy behind, and built his own castle, where he now lives. There, behind the thick walls of his well-hidden fortress, hidden from everyone’s eyes, he transforms from a man into a wolf, while the Hungarian moon shines brightly and the linden tree comes to life.
If anyone ever witnessed this terrifying scene, they would say to themselves in complete disbelief: No! This can’t be true!
The opening event begins with a performance by Jakob Lechner, in which he presents the wolf costume he created during his two-month residency.
