about the production
The director focused on a clash of contemporary cruel reality and the world of isolated island ruled by peculiar laws and regulations. The both worlds are overlapped and a spectator can draw the parallels between a wrecker of the sea and a wrecker of the life…
The stage production has completely fulfilled the idea of multigenre performance through the interplay of all elements of drama stage production – constantly and originally changing stage, expressively modern costumes, accurate acting, erotic dancing and singing compound an extraordinary spectacular performance. It has a fascinating tempo according to which the director experiments with the classical text, with the methods of staging and eventually with the spectator himself who is constantly being mislead and surprised. The stage production is an excellent example of unusual Alföldi's sensitivity toward postmodernist experimenting.
