Short description

The butcher has disappeared.
131 Roma were convicted.
No bodies. 41 Roma were publicly executed.
Still no bodies, no evidence.
Only confessions extracted under torture.
The new play of the Independent Theater Hungary, Cannibals, commemorates a story reminiscent of the Dark Middle Ages.



“The greatness of the idea is shown by the fact that the audience cannot contain themselves and bursts into laughter. Can a director receive greater recognition? And can he trust that the play will achieve the desired effect and make you think about the life, situation, vulnerability, and sensitivity of the Roma? Can theater be taken home, or can it be put down as a matter of course when leaving the performance space, like a temporarily possessed object? Like every worthwhile play, Rodrigó Balogh’s asks questions. It is a work of art.”
