István Fazekas: The Palace of Time

Keywords: Fazekas István, play, time travel, modern stage design

Abstract

The dialogical scenes are separated by narrations that help orientation in time and space, provide basic background information, and dance inserts that are immanently adapted to the given era, but they are connected by references back and forth, and a Bronze Age coin that rolls over thousands of years, but can be found throughout space in the territory of Százhalombatta, which is already considered an antiquity in the Iron Age, becomes an object of the witness of Christianity in Roman color. The separate and intertwined parables are connected by the location. It is an undoubted fact: theatre is a sensitive seismograph of the phenomena of life, and the event play, unique so far in the history of Hungarian drama, exemplifies this well.
