How can we talk about the biggest trauma of the 20th century, the Holocaust?
According to the renowned director, János Mohácsi and his former students we can do so with the help of Jewish jokes and songs, documents from the 30’s and 40’s, and by reciting them – in pitch darkness.
The texts were selected by János Mohácsi and the actors together, predominantly from personal reminiscences. Texts from the film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann as well as many other sources were used, such as case studies, survivor testimonies, literary works, diary notes, historical sources, official reports and personal collections to evoke the historical period and the mood of the time.
The piece was produced in 2012 as a coproduction of the Faculty of Arts of Kaposvár University and FÜGE, one of the leading production houses in Budapest for independent performing arts. In 2013 the piece received an award by the Hungarian Association of Theatre Critics for Best Independent Performance and Best Music, and in the same year it was programmed in the Hungarian Theatre Showcase 2013. FÜGE took care of its distribution until 2016, since then it has been regularly presented in Örkény István Theatre. The play was performed by many locations, both in Budapest and the countryside.
“When the Ghetto Sheriff performance ends, we quietly stand up and leave the venue. János Mohácsi did a brilliant job again. But now we don’t clap, because it’s not possible to applaud what have heard.”

Performed over 500 times in Hungary and abroad the show is an hommage to the great Hungarian master of the absurd, István Örkény.
Beastly good fun embedded in ancient stand-up comedy on the subject of human frailty. An evening of didactic dance and song, in enchanting quotation marks. Come ruminate over these questions with the ruminants. Two acts in unusually fine feather.
Within the game, at least, control is a given. You have an impact on its world. Other people escape into it. Don’t say that’s not what you are doing too! Well, I see. You create characters on FB and Insta, you post about solidarity and taking vacations with the dog, and you break into a sweat when people don’t like your event. The events experienced by your online avatar. The only difference is that I, unlike you, know that the character in the video game is not me. And right there in the City Park, I thought, “But what if it is?”
Óvakodjatok a farizeusok kovászától, vagyis a képmutatástól. Nincs semmi elrejtve, ami nyilvánosságra ne kerülne, s titok, ami ki ne tudódna.…
One of the goals of our production is through our new and modern re-adaptation, to capture present-day Hungarian reality.
„Jön a fordulat. Tudom. Érzem. Már jön, aki azt fogja kiabálni: Félre! El az útból! És csak özönlik a többi…
