Synopsis

angol változat: Man. Woman. Man and Woman. Woman and Man. In the words of someone, two people, once: they have made a mistake. It’s a very human story. About the tragedy of two very well-known individuals. It’s a very personal story and yet: how did it become so impersonal? We think of men as a group, women alike. We lack something personal to relate to. If we want to escape or discover a need in ourselves that overturns established rules, society considers it a violation of the rules and punishes us.

What does a couple mean in our society? What is its task? Our show does not seek the answer in the story of creation, it merely starts from it. It weighs up the power and pity in our relationships, self-realisation and the search for intimacy, human fragility and brutality, the power of desire and the desperate appearance of normality. It creates a non-judgmental reality in which the viewer can easily find their place. It is a subjective, intimate, apolitical reality that does not seek ethics. It is a creation that is not masculine or feminine, only human. Eva. Adam. Man. “Done!”

The Director

Hunor-József Varga was born in November 1997 in Marosludas, Mureș County, Transylvania. He graduated in acting from the University of Theatre and Film of Cluj-Napoca, in 2019.

After graduating, he became a member of the independent theatre company Váróterem Projekt, where he performed in five productions: Fishez, The Sixth Day, Alcestis, Charlie, the Crow and All The Things People Like To Talk About - the latter two are educational theatre shows. He is currently based in Bucharest, where he is participating at an international programme organised by the National Dance Centre. As a director, he is interested in non-verbal and physical theatre, which is his main field of research and creation. His first production is the movement theatre show entitled The Sixth Day, created for the independent theatre company Váróterem Projekt. The performance is a duet based on the story of creation of the first human couple.

At the university, he has also staged the play The Unhappy by Milán Füst, alongside several performative installations.
