Dance drama in two acts, based on Truman Capote's work of the same title.

Ever since it was founded, the Miskolc Ballet has placed great emphasis on adapting literary and cinematic works that are familiar to the audience for the dance stage. One such effort is this dance-theatre production of Truman Capote's novella Breakfast at Tiffany's. The work's success was defined by the film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Audrey Hepburn. Capote's novella is not identical to the familiar Hollywood film: while the film is a sugary cavalcade of assorted truths and formulaic delights that either bypass or only superficially affect the story of the encounter between a defenceless little girl hiding behind the mask of an uninhibited woman and a penniless writer, the tale comes across significantly more colourfully and realistically in Capote's novella. It is a portrait of an era that presents situations and characters from real life and takes a more thorough approach to America's social problems. We glimpse dreams that are merely mirages, and they disperse in the mirror of sobering realities.
