Shakespeare and the Hungarian Folk Tale

What does Shakespeare have in common with Hungarian folk tales, what is it that ties these two, apparently completely distinct worlds together? We could probably get several answers to this question, but right now, our answer is the new dance play by  Nagyvárad Ensemble, which adapts folcloric humour into ballet, and tries to find a happy conclusion in the relationship between man and woman – ever changing, and yet ever the same, having the archetype of the stubborn girl at its center. The play was inspired by Kate from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, but it also incorporates Hungarian folk tale tradition – among others, the story of the devil and the Szekler woman.
