The second part of the Fathers and Sons trilogy

In 1978, József Holdosi published his novel "Kanyas", which led the author's grandfather to file a complaint against both the writer and the publisher. What can a writer reveal from their own community and life? And to what extent can artistic freedom be defended in the dock?

József says that this is fiction, that the novel is a figment of his imagination. Who is right? The story paints a picture of a family that is self-destructive, disintegrating, and carrying generational curses.

Short description

Why is it worth teaching in a disadvantaged village, and what are the arguments for a young, beginning teacher to leave? What stories and people give her faith and strength to stay? Or is it the lies and the sense of hopelessness that push her toward leaving? To go or to stay?

The performance is part of the international cultural project 'Theater in One Car,' which was realized with the co-financing of the European Union. The project was created through the collaboration of the Basca Theatre in Romania, Independent Theater Hungary, and Mikser in Serbia. Its aim is to create sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective theatrical productions in which two actors play multiple roles, and the entire production fits into a single car.
