The play commemorates the past of the theatre in Subotica, and in general the Theatre as such, the old, glittering and fake world of light operas with their impish actors. The characters are only the shadows of their ancestors – Beckettian figures, with memories swirling around them in the silence, memories of plays and acts, from the deceased world of the light opera. We meet the emptiness, in the dark space we are searching for an image, a dance, an act, a laugh…
What belongs to us for eternity in this earthly existence? Who are those who live a life more intense than others? Love, as a tool in our hands to reach the most complete being, a relationship of life and death in this completeness… but in love we meet something ancient, a terrible sense of fear that is almost independent from the individual…because every angel is terrifying.
(Szabolcs Tolnai)

”Everything is relative, incalculable. In the mist of dusk and smoke, mysterious, old moans come to life as if 100-200-year-old ghosts were set free behind the scenes, telling us stories of their sins, pleasures and long-gone emotions in words borrowed from Rilke, Csáth or Crnjanski.”
(Arnold Török, Magyar Szó)

”A scene impossible to describe: characters reborn, dusty props, washed-out costumes and thick, pale make-ups give us an unforgettable experience. The stories of these ghost figures are mostly about  Big Loves, they operate with a series of courting clichés and communicate on a grotesque moaning voice, once silent but now audible again. Their movements sometimes appear to be so slow that we have a feeling they can control the passage of time.”
(János Brenner, HÍD)
