Csokonai 250: Tempefői performed by the Second-Year Class of Acting

  • Attila Szabó Színház- és Filmművészeti Egyetem
Keywords: Csokonai Vitéz Mihály, Tempefői adaptation, theatre

Abstract

Mihály Csokonai Vitéz wrote his first, unfinished, play at the age of 20, as a student at the College of Debrecen. The second-year students of acting at the University of Theatre Arts (the class of Frigyes Funtek and Konrád Quintus) are in fact the same age as the poet, which is perhaps why the spirit of Tempefői is such a “good fit” for them. Debrecen’s theatre, renewed in both its building and its management, together with the University of Theatre Arts, dedicated a three-day celebration to the poet, who was born two hundred and fifty years ago. A professional conference was held on Csokonai’s dramas and various adaptations of his oeuvre, and in the evening the event series culminated in an adaptation of Tempefői by the second-year class of acting, directed by Benedek Csáki, also in “Fórum’s” chamber hall.
