A kolozsvári kalmár, avagy Jessica szabad. Dramaturgjegyzetek
The Merchant of Cluj or Jessica is free. From the Notes of the Dramaturg

Summary/Abstract: Author-dramaturg-teacher András Visky has now been collaborating with director Gábor Tompa for many years. In this essay, he presents his ideas about their latest production, elaborating on the issues surrounding the staging of The Merchant of Venice and on the phenomena of the (non)acceptance of alterity, with deep historical roots. How can antisemitism and The Merchant of Venice be approached after the Holocaust? How does this text fit into our own age, shedding a sharp light on its ideological, linguistic, and political relations? Who is Jessica? Visky’s fascinating essay invites readers on​ a real adventure in thinking.
