A
tragicomedy in two acts
Lajos Tót
is a fire-fighter in Mátraszentanna, a small mountain town. His house is nice
and clean, his garden is sunny and bright. If his son would not be a front line
soldier in Russia, Lajos Tót would only be informed about the war from the
radio. When one day the company commander of his son shows up to take some rest
from the shocks of war-time, Lajos Tót and his family do their best to make his
time unforgettable. Everything that one can do. But what is that one can do in
hard times is a matter of perspective.
‘When a
snake (a rare phenomenon) devours itself is there a snake-size gap left in the
world? And is there a power mighty enough to make a man devour his humanity to
the last crumb? Is there or is there not? It’s quite a puzzle!”’
Based on
the short novel of the author, the play was edited and the songs were selected
by Ildikó Gáspár.
