March 26, 2026: Egy Életem – Zoltán Mucsi
7pm, biographical stand-up evening, one act (90 minutes). In the Egy Életem series, famous artists share life stories, defining moments, and tales—scripted by life itself. Kapa—that’s what the country calls him. Almost everyone knows and loves him, but his career didn’t start easily. Trained as a locksmith, he dreamed of soccer. A twist of fate made him an extra at Szolnoki Szigligeti Theater. Theater hooked him: 15 years barely leaving its walls. From one-liners to leads. Soon Budapest noticed: starring roles in theater and film rolled in. He met Péter Scherer, launching the legendary Kapa-Pepe duo. He’s been full throttle ever since. Tonight, Zoltán Mucsi steps up to tell his key stories “Kapásan”—not dead serious. From Abony childhood to Szolnok paperboy gig, dramatic roles to electrician scenes, Jancsó films to Tóth János. He spills on private life and family too—they’re essential. Warning: dangerously funny! “I expect world peace from this evening, humanity improving, climate crisis solved. Even if just a bit happens through my stories, no disappointment,” says Zoltán Mucsi. Cast: Zoltán Mucsi. Director-producer: Balázs Lévai. Dramaturg: Eszter Gyulay. Visuals, VJ: Dani Kőváry and Milán Mucsi. Lights: István Ács. Production manager: Nikolett Fantoly.
