Burundanga at Vidor Festival

In Nyíregyháza, the Vidor Festival competition programme have entered the stage the play Burundanga, or the Mask, the Basque and the Stuff, a performance made by The Harag György Company of The Northern Theatre Satu Mare in cooperation with The Hungarian State Theatre Csiky Gergely Timișoara. The performance was played on 26 august at the Krúdy Studio Hall of The Móricz Zsigmond Theatre.

Two students, an IT guy, a Basque, an unexpected pregnancy, a long-forgotten uncle - great capitalist, some bad anchovy sauce and an international terrorist organisation.

Plays written by Catalan contemporary playwright Jordi Galceran happen in real time, in only one location, with overwhelming humour, offering subjects for debate about the current society. His most famous play, „The Grönholm Method", was staged in many theatres across the country in Hungarian as well as Romanian.

„I just didn't know it. How was I supposed to know, when he never talked about it? Manel has an office job, he fixes computers, his mother sings in a women's choir, he plays indoor football every Saturday, does that look like a terrorist's life?"

Cast: Lőrincz Rita, Keresztes Ágnes, Csata Zsolt, Orbán Zsolt, Rappert-Vencz Gábor, director: Csábi Anna.
