March 26: Mucsi Zoltán’s One Life Stand-Up Bio
Thursday, March 26 at 7 p.m. brings Mucsi Zoltán: Egy Életem at Kálmán Imre Cultural Center. This 90-minute one-man show dives into his life through real stories. Everyone knows him as Kapa, but his path was rocky—he trained as a locksmith, dreamed of soccer, and ended up as an assistant actor at Szolnoki Szigligeti Theater. Theater hooked him for 15 years, as he climbed from bit parts to leads. Then Budapest beckoned with films and stage stardom, teaming him with Scherer Péter for the iconic Kapa-Pepe duo. He’s been thriving ever since. Mucsi shares key tales “Kapásan”—from his Abony kid days, newspaper boy gigs in Szolnok, dramatic roles to electrician scenes, Jancsó films to Tóth János. Family stories too, ’cause life’s incomplete without them. Warning: dangerously funny! “I’m expecting world peace, humanity’s upgrade, and climate fixes from this show. Even a fraction via my stories? No regrets,” quips Mucsi. Cast: Mucsi Zoltán. Director-producer: Lévai Balázs. Dramaturg: Gyulay Eszter. Visuals/VJ: Kőváry Dani, Mucsi Milán. Lights: Ács István. Production manager: Fantoly Nikolett.
