„WHO – A contemporary dance music band, the ancient alternative, electic and independent TÁP Theatre of eclectic style and Ádám Fekete, the talented student dramaturg from the Film and Theatre University transpose the 19th century Russian drama into the reality of today’s Hungary.
WHAT – The play examines the nature of corrupt clerks and white-collar criminals in good positions, more exactly how their special moral principles, defense mechanisms and self absolution work. After it had been written, the play was banned because it was believed to make fun of civil servants by the censorship. It was only allowed to be staged six years later in St. Petersburg. Ádám Fekete and the TÁP Theatre tells the story of Ostrovsky’s play in a framework of today’s corruption as a public musical show.
WHY – Everything that so far has proven to be a dead end street in society is there: socialism under construction, the unconscious consumer society, corruption and demagogy. And a few wheelbarrows of soil is there to make sure that this is the end. Looking at it from this perspective, the helter-skelter style and the ecstatic show may as well be justified: it reminds us of a country rushing towards its own destruction.”(István Ugrai)
