The company presents the first published fairy tale novel by Ervin Lázár, The Little Boy and the Lions, directed by Gábor Kolozsi Borsos. The initial Figura company first staged the production for children and families in 1991, and László Bocsárdi was the director of the production.

 

The company has a well-established tradition of actors changing their profession for the duration of a rehearsal, trying their hand at directing, costume design or even composing music behind the scenes. Gábor Kolozsi Borsos has already staged a production with members of the Szín-kron student theatre group, but this is his first time in the director's chair of Figura, directing Szigfrid Bruckner and friends. He will be assisted by Ákos Páll-Gecse as assistant, Helga Balázs as dramaturg, Kató Huszár as set and costume designer and Lehel-András Barti, the company's actor, will be trying his hand at composing music. In December, the audience of Gheorgheni is scheduled to see the performance of the very old lion and the little boy, which tells about friendship and circus stories.

 

This season, the Gheorgheni Theatre, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, is revisiting and reimagining some of the titles and works it has been performing since its beginnings. This is how the second premiere of the season ended up being a production of the same title based on Sławomir Mrożek's absurdist short story House on the Border, directed by Attila Keresztes.
