The Advantages of the Disadvantaged. Hungarian-Language Theatres in the Neighbouring Countries

Summary/Abstract: Around a third of Hungarians live in a country neighbouring Hungary—the legacy of the post First World War Treaty of Trianon—and Hungarian-language professional theatres in the one-time Hungarian territories reflect a similar ratio. Ten companies are based in Romania (not counting the Hungarian Opera of the city of Cluj [Kolozsvár] and several puppet theatres), one in Ukraine, three in Serbia and two in Slovakia. Undergraduates receive Hungarian-language instruction at the university of dramatic arts in Taˆrgu Mures¸ (Marosvásárhely) and Cluj, Romania and at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Novi Sad (Újvidék) in Vojvodina, Serbia.
