The Hungarian Theatre of Cluj’s production of Rosmersholm has been included in the competition of the 18^th edition of the National Theatre Reunion of Pécs. The play will be performed in Pécs at the beginning of June 2018.

The productions featured in the theatre reunion organized between June 7 and 16 had been selected this year by János Regős and János Térey. The performances eligible to be selected were those that premiered between March 1, 2017 and March 10, 2018. The program consists of seven main hall and seven other studio hall performances, which will be presented on the Main Stage, as well as the Chamber Hall of the Pécs National Theatre.

“Zholdak's production of Rosmersholm has such a powerful internal combustion that it auto combusts. Flower vases are broken, cups are destroyed, food is thrown - matter is subjected to torture, sometimes unjustifiably. Even the immaterial joins this massive pattern of destruction through the storm that begins and enters through the enormous window that looks upon the pond. To which the rain of stone is added twice as an effect. All internal fire is transmitted through a sense of distance, of “coldness”. The sense of internalisation remains to be compensated by these extreme gestures. The internal cry is actually a roar felt deep in your eardrum. According to Zholdak's vision, Rosmersholm is like a visible collapse of a house over its own masters. And as in any collapse, everything is noisy and painful.” – writes theatre critic Oana Bogzaru.

The next performance of Rosmersholm will take place on April 6, at 6 pm, in the Main Hall of the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj, featuring actors Éva Imre, Balázs Bodolai, Timea Jerovszky, Gizella Kicsid and Miklós Bács/Gábor Viola.
