Jenő Janovics at the 15th edition of the Hungarian Days of Cluj!

The Hungarian Theatre of Cluj will participate at the 15th Hungarian Days of Cluj with Attila Vidnyánszky's latest staging entitled Janovics. The performance was inspired by the life of Jenő Janovics, and is based on a text by Miklós Vecsei H. and Nikolett Németh and improvisations of the company. The production will be presented at the Hungarian Days of Cluj on Sunday, August 25, at 7 pm in the theatre's studio hall.

The premiere of the show about the legendary theatre manager, director, filmmaker and actor took place on July 10. Its official premiere will take place on September 25, but before that it will be performed also on September 4.

"I see the Janovics production as an experiment, as it will start where Young Barbarians ended. It's like the second part of a series, a chain link or rather a junction. As with Barbarians, Janovics is not a biographical production, it tries to get as far away from the confines of the theatre as possible, but unlike Barbarians, our aim was to recount the most significant period of the protagonist's life in a "new form", in the Janovics way," stated the director.

The title role is portrayed by Miklós Bács, with József Bíró, Róbert M. Kardos, Csilla Albert, Zsuzsa Tőtszegi, Balázs Bodolai, Éva Imre, Lóránd Váta, Lilla Pánczél, Hannah Daradics, Zsolt Gedő, Tamás Kiss, Gedeon András and Loránd Farkas performing additional roles.

The creative team included Csíki Csaba (set designer), Zsuzsanna Cs. Kiss (costume designer), Dávid Mester (music), István Berecz (choreographer) and Nikolett Németh (dramaturg).

Tickets for the performances are available at the theatre's box office and online at huntheater.biletmaster.ro.
