The Plague

Albert Camus’ The Plague is one of the most powerful parabolic novels of the XXth century. The scenic version of French actor Francis Huster was performed more than five hundred times.

The leading Hungarian actor, Géza Hegedűs plays all alone some twenty different roles of The Plague story, accompanyst Albert Márkos provides on his violoncello music and sound effects. Scene director András Dömötör opted for an extremely efficient „minimalist” approach. Two chairs, some times dimmed, other times violently strong lighting, black, empty walls. Let the voice of Camus from the midst of World War II. break trough! Hungarian spectators, who have some experience of hardship and oppression are during 90 minutes messmerized by the artistic achievement of Hegedűs and Dömötör.
