Founders
Balázs Petke, Dániel Szabó, György Sallai
The 101 VOICES project was born from the shared vision of its three founders – Balázs Petke, Dániel Szabó and György Sallai – shaped over more than a decade of collaboration. They have always believed that the most powerful productions are born from passion: experiences that function both as artistic creations and community-driven events.
For them, 101 VOICES is far more than a tribute project. It is a long-evolving creative vision where their passion for Depeche Mode meets monumental stage design, cinematic storytelling and experimental live music performance. Their goal was to create an internationally relevant Hungarian production with its own identity and emotional depth, capable of reinterpreting these iconic songs in a unique and contemporary way.
