A stage version created from the scenario of Buñuel’s 1962 film, The Avenging Angel. The work has never been shown before in the theatre. According to the plot of the film, after an opera performance the Nobile couple give supper to their friends in their house in Providence Street, but with the exception of the butler all the staff have departed. As they listen to music and talk after supper, more and more of them become sleepy and although they talk about going home they are incapable of leaving. They are closed in together for days and the conditions become increasingly cruel… This inexplicable restriction makes the company ever more desperate and hysterical. The police and journalists appear around the villa, but they are unable to enter even through the open door… Buñuel surrealistic work is a study in group psychology and the psychology of the dehumanised world.
The performance in the Petőfi Literary Museum is not a pale copy of the film, but a living, biting performance, an action or “danger” theatre in which the viewers standing or sitting among the actors become part of the action. Naturally, they are only observers of the events, not victims. They see from close up what could happen to them too, how people in an extremely defenceless position lose all their refinement and outward trappings and how they are able to face themselves stripped bare.

Equality of opportunity is an important value for us all! It helps us to attain our goals, to give everyone a chance of a job, a career, good quality services – regardless of gender, origin or financial situation, or whether the person is healthy or living with disability.
For 10 years the Baltazár Theatre Foundation has been giving young people with a moderate degree of disability the opportunity to develop their talents and show themselves to society as they really are.
