On 21 September theatres celebrate the Hungarian Drama Day in memory of the first premiere of The Tragedy of Man in 1883 in the National Theatre, Budapest. The production, named Café Stories come from this era, which will be on program tonight from 7 pm in the Studio Hall.

The performance made of the personal narratives of well-known Hungarian writers and artists of the second half of the 19th century was presented by the ten-year-old Szín-kron Group’s young actors guiding by Kolozsi Borsos Gábor.

Igmándi Mihály, originally a clerk in his main occupation, published his poems in several 19th century journals. The Hungarian Intellectual Life. Stories and drawings from the lives of Hungarian writers and artists appeared in 1892 on his initiative and in his editing, in which well-known artists shared stories about their profession and even about their private lives.

In the nostalgic evening interwoven with jazz songs the young generation tells stories about famous writers and actors’ successes, failures, playwrights and vocation. Along the stories is drawn an age-picture and artistic attitude, from which “little will be good even now, because there is a lot of chat now.”

Tickets are available on the www.biletmaster.ro and in the tickets’ office on weekdays between 3 and 7 pm. The Café Stories will be on program in place of the outdoor Tót Family. The bought tickets can be used for our other plays in September or can be switched back until the first of October.
