Körmöczi-Kriván Péter

Goalpost and own goal

drama

Boy and Suzi could be your everyday teenage couple. Boy is the goalkeeper of the small town's soccer team, while Suzi loves nature documentaries about salmon. Yet, their realtionship is not at all usual: the girl is already dead, and in the boy's head, there's a blood clot called Sam ticking like a time bomb.

Péter Körmöczi-Kriván's play, winner of this year's Debut Award at the Drámázat drama contest, is fresh, bittersweet, surprising, fit for a 21st century theatrical space, yet deeply rooted in an image that even Shakespeare himself had only borrowed: two young hearts whose love is sealed eternally by death.

The performance will premiere at the Festival of Contemporary Theatre in Odorheiu Secuiesc, on the 18th of September, featuring the actors of Szigligeti Company, and directed by Péter Tasnádi-Sáhy. The director's name is not unfamiliar for Oradea audiences: as a journalist and editor of  Várad Cultural Magazine, he has been involved in the events organized in collaboration between  Oradea Live Movement and Szigligeti Theatre.
