TELT HÁZ! // Bermuda – Az Utas: Szerb Antal

Many years after making their name in the 2010s with a series of music videos and pop hits – Monte Carlo and London were two of the most-played songs on Petőfi Radio – Bermuda have produced their first full-length album. Journey by Moonlight (Utas és holdvilág) is a unique undertaking, a “novelistic album” based on Antal Szerb’s book of the same title that largely follows the form of a film soundtrack. But how much do we know about the writer of the novel, who died at such a tragically young age? This concert, which marks the 80th anniversary of the author’s death, will feature songs from Bermuda’s album Utas és holdvilág, together with reorchestrated versions of the band’s own compositions: for one night only, through the use of the writer’s letters and diary excerpts, Bermuda will seek to bring us closer to a timeless citizen of Europe, a daydreaming Budapest teacher and a brilliantly cultivated social figure: Antal Szerb.
