The rise and fall of Hungarian writer Sándor Tar (1941-2005) is one of the most tragic and controversial episodes in the country’s literary scene in recent decades. This performance does not intend to present his personal story, but instead, by adapting the writer’s finest short stories, it focuses on the mental disintegration of the personality. Sándor Tar's heroes are the outlaws of history: humiliated people pushed to the edge of the map and the community. Despised workers who had been building Socialism only to die of the transition to democracy.
The brutal and harsh reality of the events are dissolved into poetic visions and performed with the well-known creative energy and radical stage techniques of Forte Company. The performance, for which Csaba Horváth received the award for Best Director at POSZT Festival in Pécs in 2016, involves the spectator so intensively that it is not easy to come back from this underworld.
