Máté Angi

The Memory Menders

Teatrul Maghiar de Stat Csiky Gergely Timişoara

The fairy with the yellow hair and one brunette haired fairy heal forgotten memories, memories that fade over time, remnants of past events, so that they can be cared for and sent back to their owners. The fairies' loneliness intertwines with the love between them, and the grayness of suffering and pain is colored by the playfulness and daydreaming of the two, who dream of playing the harp, flying free, and being happy. Is it possible that their shared dream comes true? The stage adaptation of Angi Máté’s novel, a story about friendship, fairy tales, rigor, and unity, reflects themes that concern young people: the passing of carefree childhood years, changing attitudes toward parents, and the promise of independence, but also the burden of responsibility that comes with adulthood. The creators of the performance mainly invite children aged 8-12 to engage in an interactive game and collective reflection. Through this show, the 'Csiky Gergely' Hungarian State Theatre strengthens its theatre education program.
