Kisvárda Festival of Hungarian Theatres

Summary/Abstract: This report on the 2023 edition of the Kisvárda Festival of Hungarian Theatres lays special emphasis on three performances: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (dir. Attila Matusek) of the Košice Thália Theatre; The Hammer of the Village (dir. Attila Vidnyánszky) of the Transcarpathian Regional Hungarian Drama Theatre; The Son of the Earth (dir. Máté Hegymegi) played by the Dezső Kosztolányi Theatre from Subotica. According to the author, the main driving force behind all three performances was the acting, and he also founds his analyses on this idea. The opinion permeating this writing about the festival as a whole is that the author misses the thematic or otherwise consistent selection principles holding the festival performances together, moreover, he deems that the professional discussions did not give room for negative criticism.
