Harag György Cseresznyéskert-rendezéseinek hangzó költészete
The Sound Poetry of György Harag’s Cherry Orchard Productions

Summary/Abstract: The musical works in György Harag’s performances occupy a special place in Hungarian and Romanian theater history. Beyond their historicity, however, they also have an independent artistic value. Most of them are artifacts that, as mise en scène, create structure, show stylistic coherence, and last but not least, underline and frame the play with a symbolic, poetic quality. The music becomes performative in György Harag’s performances. If we listen to these works, a multidimensional spectrum of interpretation is revealed to us, in which we can reflect on the performance from several sides with a variety of knowledge. The study examines two productions of The Cherry Orchard by György Harag from the perspective of the acoustic space, and at the same time initiates a poetic dialogue between the dramatic text, the mise en scène, the acting, and the music.
