A King and Fortuneteller, who sees More than the Gods may like, is severely punished. Sisyphos is His name. In despair he is crying To the highest God, a Master even to Zeus and Hera: EGO, Lord of the World! Ego is merciful, in the Desert Heat He drives Sisyphos insane and Turns him into the most terrible Tyrant who without any Empathy nourishes himself on the burning world’s smoke. First Victim to His unsatisiable Hunger is His constant Companion - Dear Dog Ugarthos.

By means of Dance Theater, Stage and Animation, Szabo puts on stage a perpetuation of the Parable of Sisyphos. The ancient hero, very much like modern man, seeks luck in self-fulfilment and gets enlaced in the excess of his Ego, till he can’t discern enemies and friends.

The intermedial performance GLÜCK narrates the complex parable of Sisyphos within one hour of Animation movie, 3D-Animation, Dancing, Text and Music.
