Florence, early 16th century. The prince is debauched, without moral scruples. The aristocrats and citizens protest but they are unable to join forces. A young man, Lorenzo de Medici, decides to do away with the tyrant single-handedly. He joins the prince and becomes his friend, sycophant and evil spirit. The acting is perfect but the mask becomes too much a part of Lorenzo, who sacrifices not only his reputation but also his family and friends for his plan that increasingly becomes an obsession. Finally he succeeds, the tyrant is dead, but nothing changes: Lorenzo himself runs into the murderous dagger and a totally unsuitable puppet figure is chosen in his place. Alfred de Musset’s drama written in 1834, the “Hamlet of Romanticism”, full of poetic beauty and strikingly modern in its attitude, is rarely performed in Hungary. Of course, this is partly because the original play calls for sixty changes of scene and four hundred characters. Here Sándor Zsótér stages it with five actors from the Maladype company.
A joint production of Thália Theatre, Budapest Autumn Festival and Maladype Theatre.

selected HOLMI
October 14 | 20.00
Thalia Theatre – New Studio
Performer > Géza Hegedűs D.
With > Kornél Fekete-Kovács [trumpet] | András Dés [percussion]
Music > Árpád Kákonyi
In October 1989, when the Kádár regime had just a few more months to go, and the international political situation was rather turbulent, few could possibly assess the importance of the publication of the first issue of Holmi, a new literary and cultural journal. During the past twenty years, the journal, with unchanged views and typography ever since, has become a benchmark, a symbol of rigorously high quality, unquestionable good taste and a wide cultural perspective; in short, a major chapter in modern Hungarian literary history. Actor Géza D. Hegedűs recalls these twenty years by reciting the most memorable writings and poems that were first published in Holmi.
