The Precarious Fiancé on the programme again

Many people have already seen the production of The Precarious Fiancé, which was presented as the opening of the Tamási season, and the company also performed it on New Year’s Eve, but there is still interest in it, so the theatre invites its audience on Saturday and Sunday, April 15th and 16th, from 7 pm. to see the show.

Áron Tamási’s The Precarious Fiancé is directed by István Albu, manager of the Figura Studio Theatre in Gheorgheni, who believes the play deals with the basic questions of the artistic existence, which is also a sensitive concern of the creative team as well.

The Precarious Fiancé gives an insight into the seemingly hopeless life of Antal Bodrogi, a young potter (in our case a picture framer), who is really talented, yet, he is on the brink of a financial breakdown, although trying desperately to set off his debts by selling his shoddy goods at fairs. In his hopeless situation, he is preparing for an unworthy marriage of convenience with a practically unknown but rather wealthy old girl in order to meet his debts, even though he is in love with someone else.
He knows deep in his heart that marrying an unknown is without sense, just as selling worthless goods is, yet he cannot find any other way out thus both as a person and as an artist his identity becomes somewhat fractured.
Tamási’s fabular allegory was written in the context of the depression after the two world wars, yet the recent years and also our present has brought such crises that threw humankind off balance both privately and communally.
„Why The Precarious Fiancé? Perhaps because it is about an artist, about his struggle, about his existential problems, or simply about those financial, intellectual and emotional values that preoccupy me as well” – said István Albu, director of the performance.
