Summary/Abstract: Alina Nelega is a Romanian playwright, translator, director and the artistic manager of the Liviu Rebreanu Company of the Târgu-Mureș National Theatre, a professor at the Târgu-Mureș University of Arts she also leads playwriting workshops. Her drama entitled Kamikaze appears for the first time in Hungarian, in the translation of István Kovács. The text is a kind of Balkan revenge-play. A man and a woman confront each other during a bizarre wedding night, in a clash of their doubly common past lives, the third character both linking and separating the newly wed couple. Two monologues follow each other in a space haunted in memories by the invisible and silent dead participant of the love triangle. The opposition between man and woman is not merely emotional: the possibility of a life with bourgeois values and the rebellion against them, as well as the impossibility of uncompromising rebellion turn into aesthetic and philosophical questions in Nelega’s text.
