Tabooed, unspoken stories are revealed in 1989 - including the secret, unmarked graves of the martyrs fighting for the revolution of ‘56. Dozens of families are going through the hardships of the exhumation and identifying of their loved ones.

 

Two women are standing next to a grave, mourning the same man: the wife and the lover. The once loved individual’s remains makes the widows face their own pasts, never outspoken emotions, secrets, with pain and passion. How many kinds of remembrances are there? In how many ways can the tales of the unspeakable be told, when private stories are being strangled by political games in front of the public?

 

The Nation’s Widow is not a documentary drama, it rather builds up a fictive world based on elements of reality, presents archetypal figures, and in its focus stands the remembrance of Hungarian history. In the middle of it there are those left behind, those carrying the weight of the past, the widows, the children and through them the descendants: ourselves.

Our offer


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.

Jean-Luc Lagarce's comedy is a choral work for seventeen voices. The seventeen actors are almost constantly present on stage, and as with Chekhov, the real conflicts take place below the apparent uneventful surface. A misspoken word, a bitten half-sentence, a few clichés or cynical comments cause the erupting crisis, the banality of which is laughable and deplorable.

Zsolt negyvenhat éves, gyermektelen. Bonyolult és zűrzavaros múlt kavarog mögötte. Egy hatalmas szerelem és válás. Egy szenzációs zenekar, melynek széthullása előtt a frontembere volt. Réges régen volt mindez. Zsolt ma fuvarozik, és épp Gdanskból száguld hazafelé, ahol várja őt fiatal, mindenórás barátnője. Éjszaka van a hegyek közt, a szlovák autópályán. Zsolt tapossa a pedált, és egy pillanatra elalszik...
