PORNO – THE STORY OF MY WIFE FEATURED AT THE DRÁMA CONTEMPORARY THEATRICAL ENCOUNTER OF ODORHEIU SECUIESC

András Visky's documentary-play Porno - The Story of My Wife,  directed by Árpád Árkosi, will be presented within the 12th edition of the dráMA Contemporary Theatrical Encounter, organized by the Tomcsa Sándor Theatre and the Pro Theatrum Foundation. The performance will take place on Tuesday, September 21, on the Day of Hungarian Drama, at 7 pm, within the studio space set up on the main stage of the Tomcsa Sándor Theatre. The performance is a joint production of the Hungarian Threatre of Cluj and the Gyula Castle Theatre.

“It is possible that the message of András Visky's play, although of a universal nature, since it is about power, vulnerability and repression, is truly understood by those who have experienced similar situations. Or at least lived under a dictatorship. Or attempted to live - according to what others had dictated to them. But the drama also provides a lesson for the young and future generations, who (thank God) only learned about the monstrous acts of the oppressive system from movies or perhaps their readings” - wrote Csaba Nánó about the performance.

The production won two awards at the XXXII edition of the Kisvárda Festival of Hungarian Theatres, where the director of the performance, Árpád Árkosi, won the award for Best director from the Ministry of Human Resources, while Éva Imre won the Mayor of Kisvárda’s award for her portrayal in the production.

Cast: Éva Imre, Ferenc Sinkó and András Visky. The costume designer of the performance is Gyopár Bocskai, its composer Tibor Cári, while the stage movement was created by Ferenc Sinkó.
