Summary/Abstract: The anthology on one of the remarkable directors of twentieth-century Transsylvanian Hungarian theatre is reviewed by László Bogdán, Transsylvanian Hungarian writer, who is a spectator of several Harag-performances himself. The theatrical topography outlining from reviews of the period (from Kolozsvár through Szabadka to Győr and Budapest) recalls Harag’s most important works, among them the performances of plays by Chekhov, Shakespeare, Géza Páskándi, János Székely. A process is noticeable during which moving, sight and music plays a more and more important role to become indispensable layers of Harag’s performances.
