The director, together with dramaturgs Miklós H. Vecsei and Nikolett Németh, and the actors of the Cluj company, created a completely original performance, the text and lines of which are mainly based on the recollections in the preserved diary of Janovics. This is Attila Vidnyánszky Jr.'s third staging at the Cluj-based Hungarian company: after Romeo and Juliet, as well as the production of Young Barbarians, inspired by the lives of Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, which is still in the repertoire, he dazzles a section of the audience that is not afraid of fresh, sometimes chaotic, but nevertheless coherent productions that are not without their "form-breaking" solutions.

The team puts on a performance that is memorable not only for its themes but also for its originality as a whole, its excellent acting, striking visuals, choreography and music. It is worth recalling one of the many beautiful moments, when Uncle Méry, the theatre's fireman (played by József Bíró, an excellent actor), shows the audience a photograph, probably taken in 1920, of the members of the Hungarian company in Cluj looking into the camera with Janovics: on the edge of the picture is a Romanian text: 'Opera din Cluj, 1919'.

"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."
